Nor cold 1200 heating elements get orange high temp?
So I purchased 2 after market Heating elements since 1 element was working and the other was dead.
I tried sliding up and twist old ones out but no luck.
So I installed a new element and used a SS hiose clamps to the assembly.
I purchased 3/8" gas pipe since it's the closest id available then attached to heating element with hose clamps.
?... Can the pipe that holds the element get red orange from the heat?
Is it safe ?
I read 800 degrees with IR gun.
The older element was 320 degrees....
The original tubing attached to assembley does reach 800 degrees.. What's the issue?
Is that normal? 800 degrees...? It's scary hot...
Maybe it's just me over reacting.
Please arise..
