No, bending it could compromise the element's integrity and damage the internal insulation that surrounds the wiring, potentially resulting in a short. Any alteration to the original product, including bending it, automatically voids the item's warranty.
Yes, the O-ring is included. ring. I believe the base is made of plated steel, but corrosion issues at the base are uncommon. A little teflon tape on the thread (for lubrication, not sealing) is always handy.

This component is a waste of time. I've had to replace them TWICE in the last six months because they simply wear out. The previous one lasted a little more than five weeks. You'll be much happier if you spend the time and money to buy the OEM part the first time.
The actual element of this unit is 6, which is forward of the threads. 75". I replaced a Camco 02142 "High Watt Density" with this, which has a 5. The element is 75" long and identical in all other ways. So this has possibly 15% more surface area for the same wattage, thus a useless "upgrade". This item was also available for under $10 at a local hardware store. That said, there's nothing technically wrong with it, so I'll deduct one star for wasting my time.
In the RV's hot water tank, I replaced a broken element. It's a simple fit that's reasonably priced.
Excellent product at a reasonable price, with prompt delivery.
This element was the perfect match for my on-demand water heater. The rubber washer that came with it was too soft, which was my only complaint. I replaced the washer with one I found locally, and it now functions perfectly.
The gasket was dry wrought, nasty, and undersized from the start, allowing it to leak from the start.
THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND THE DELIVERY WAS ON TIME.
It's quite effective.
