Features and Benefits:?North American plug.?120 volts.This is ceramic element assembly that comes with the ATVPRO kit, the KCWPRO kit and other Airless Plastic Welders with a North American plug. The previous design had a Ni-Chrome wire that, like a light bulb, would seem to burn out at the most inopportune time. This design, however, has a ceramic element that lasts WAY longer. Here is another great thing about this element. In the unlikely event that the ceramic core burns out, you can replace just the ceramic core! Of course, what is more likely to happen is that the ceramic element will break if you happen to drop the element assembly.
