Bill,
I checked Parts Book 78Z and on page 28-33 the first design water heater (square case) notes the part number of the element to be
707467.
Page 28-35 the second design water heater and notes the part number of the element to be 2007714.
NEITHER of these part numbers are relevant to your search, however, both have four bolt flanges which I'll bet dollars to donuts are
the same.
As noted in an earlier email the element should read 9.6 ohms and if when checked with a VOM it reads 000 (infinity) it is bad
remove it and take it to Home Depot or an RV store and they will be able to match it up for you. I would suggest you bring your VOM
with you and check the new one and see what it reads. In fact I'd ask the RV shop to check it too!
I just went to the Home Depot website and did a search of Water Heater Element 1500 watt and all the ones they have are screw in:
http://www.homedepot.com/b/N-5yc1v/Ntk-Extended/Ntt-water%2Bheater%2Belement%2B1500%2Bwatt?style=List
HOWEVER, they sell an adapter kit:

I'm 98% sure I remember ours was not functional when we got the Eleganza (77). I went to Lowes and found one that matched. It's been a few years and I don't have the part number.

To my knowledge, here in the great white north, our Canadian made DHW tanks still use the 4-bolt elements. The screw-in elements we see here are for US made tanks imported by the big box stores.
The "Giant" brand of DHW tanks made here in Montreal are available in 120v models, and although I have not verified it, I wouldn't be surprised if one of their elements would fit the GMC. IIRC, Giant has 800w, 1000w, and 1500w elements Rated for 110v service.

Rob, does your ohmmeter really read 000 with open leads? Mine will read --- or INF depending on the meter. If it reads 000 open, what does it read when the leads are shorted?
Another argument for analog VOMs.

Digital volt/ohm meters will read infinity with open leads and should read all ZEROS when leads are touched together. At lower meter settings the meter might show a small amount of resistance depending on the quality of the leads.

No, the analog is reversed upside down... short to the left, open to the right, on my SOLTEC.

Johnny,
You are 100% correct! Continuity reads 000!
However, guess who can't remember if he had the Ohms scale selected! DOUH!
Yep, I love my big black Simpson!

Over 55 years of playing with electronic gear, I've had tens of thousands of bux in test gear of one sort or another. 90% of the time, the trusty Simpson 260 VOM was the weapon of choice. If you had the one with the overload breaker on the front, you could inadvertently read the ohms in an AC outlet without damage.
