Element Life Curve
(This is published by the element wire manufacturer. It is considered typically and not a guaranteed life)
The life of a TUTCO SureHeat heater is directly based on the temperature of the filament wire. The curve
below shows that 5000 hours of life can be obtained by maintaining a filament temperature below 1900°F
(1038
°
C). Also note that the element does not fail until it reaches more than 2200°F (1204
°
C)!
