Does anyone know who distributes these?

It's a 200 watt Vulcan Cartridge Heater from an Ibex bending iron which had an unfortunate tumble and no longer works.

I can't find a distributor in Australia and I'm having trouble Googling for any distributors in the States.

I can find the Vulcanco website but there's no pointers to retailers on that either.

Cheers

Bob

I know I can get them from LMI but I'd like to see if I can get them cheaper elsewhere.

SPBPS-EL Replacement heating element, 110 volt In Stock $30.75

This is from LMII.com

What voltage are you using there in Australia?

SPBPS-EL220 Replacement heating element, 220 volt (International) In Stock $30.75

You already spotted these, I'm sure. They have both.

I don't know where the Vulcan brand comes from, but I would bet Watlow makes one that would be a drop in replacement. I believe they make the "Fire Rod" cartridges, which may be a bit more widely distributed and easier to find. I use them for a number of miscellaneous heaters.

Here you go.

If you have the dimensions and wattage, I'm sure Watlow has a FireRod cartridge that will directly replace the Vulcan one. I've used Watlow cartridges and silicone heaters for years and they have always been great.

Thanks gents.

I've just had a look at the Watlow catalogue and it looks like
they'll have one that's suitable. Thanks David.
