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.

Is there an O-ring included? ring? Is the base of the table also made of stainless steel?

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.

The worst possible quality
3/5

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.

low- ER watt density is slightly higher
4/5

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.

It's a good fit and simple to put together
5/5

In the RV's hot water tank, I replaced a broken element. It's a simple fit that's reasonably priced.

The washer is cheap, but the element is good
5/5

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.

Amazon has yet again delivered a dud
3/5

The gasket was dry wrought, nasty, and undersized from the start, allowing it to leak from the start.
