Caloritech SS1281 120V 250W 17.75-Inch Strip Heater
SS1281 combines a 17.75-inch (451 mm) strip with a 120V, 250W rating. It provides a longer physical format than the 250W SS1141, so equal wattage is not evidence of the same mounting fit or heated-contact layout. Select the element against the equipment drawing and actual heating requirement.

The listing states that there is no adjustable thermostat included; have a qualified installer select the external sensing and control arrangement. Manufacturer installation requirements govern surface contact and electrical connections.
Product questions and answers
Is SS1281 the same size as the 250W SS1141?
No. SS1281 is listed at 17.75 inches long, while SS1141 is 11.75 inches. Both are listed at 120V and 250W, but their physical lengths must be matched separately.
Can I set a temperature directly on SS1281?
An adjustable thermostat is not included. Temperature regulation requires separately selected external controls appropriate to the heater and the application.
Which connection details should I compare before ordering?
Compare the two offset #10-32 bolt terminals, their clearance and the manufacturer's mounting-slot positions. The listed 5/8 x 9/32-inch slot size does not establish bolt-center spacing.
