What it is
This is a screw-in immersion heating element manufactured by Vaillant, part number 0020236132. It is used to heat domestic hot water in Vaillant VIH and Vantage VIH unvented cylinders. The element is listed under the 1/4 PC designation and is supplied for cylinder models in the 120 to 300 litre range.
Signs this part needs replacing
- No hot water from the cylinder despite the controls calling for heat
- The element circuit trips the RCD or MCB when the immersion is energised
- Continuity or resistance test across the element terminals reads open circuit
- Heavy scale or corrosion on the element sheath reducing heat transfer
- Water weeping from the element boss or its sealing face
Before you order
- Confirm your cylinder model against the fitment list above, as the VIH and Vantage VIH ranges use several element variants
- Check the rating on your cylinder's data plate against the element rating listed for this part number
- Inspect the sealing washer or gasket at the element boss and replace it if it is compressed or perished
- Note the part number stamped or printed on the existing element before removal so the match can be verified
