Home Hardware most probably has them. If you are setting up a water heater based processor you might want to check to see if the element used is a square one or a screw-in round one. I believe the 110V ones are all round screw-in(I could be wrong on that) and if so then there is also a conversion flange available at the same place you get the heaters. It literally bolts onto the one existing only has a screw-in section to accomodate the round 110V heater. This same flange will be necessary if you plan on having the heater mounted via welding into the side of a metal drum as the screw is a special thread made for water heaters only and cannot be successfully mounted into regular thread, although some have done it using LOTS of plumbing tape (the white stuff) so it won't leak, but you mess up the thread when you do. That said there are also other sources if you are in the US: http://doityourself.com/store/camco_vp02.htm Canadians can go to Home Depot, Rona Wharehouse or order on-line: http://www.process-controls.com/ASB_Heat/ http://www.omega.ca/shop/pptsc_fr.asp?ref=RIN_HEATER&Nav= although the Home/Rona route is the best and least expensive (around $15CND) I have two, one for my pre-heat tank and the other for the main processor that required the flange conversion. Should you want to use a flange conversion on the heater itself remember that when you put the cover back over the electricals it will rub against the new wiring and will short out the unit, so insulate the inside of the electricalas cover very well so that it will not conduct electricity. I used standard pink insulation for this with some duct tape to keep it in place and left the bottom screw off so as not to stress it. Then I covered the whole thing with extra insulation to keep heat in longer.
