Fame Big Element
The Fame Shower Element Big provides the thermal energy required for water heating in compatible Fame shower heads. This replacement component converts electrical energy into heat through high-impedance resistance. It supports a nominal voltage of 220V and delivers a maximum power output of 6800W.
Electrical resistance depends on the specific wire gauge and winding density. This element uses high-grade alloys to withstand frequent thermal cycling. It resists oxidation even at peak operating temperatures. The physical dimensions allow for a precise fit inside the heating housing. This prevents internal arcing or short circuits during operation.
Proper maintenance requires timely replacement of the heating coil. Mineral deposits often accumulate on the surface over time. These deposits reduce thermal efficiency and increase electrical consumption. Replacing the old resistor restores the shower to factory performance levels. Consequently, facility managers can maintain consistent water temperatures across multiple units.
Installation requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before opening the shower head. The replacement part snaps into the existing terminals without specialized tools. Proper alignment ensures even heating across the water flow path.
Wait for the water to fill the chamber before restoring electricity. This prevents the “dry burn” effect that destroys the wire. The element supports multiple temperature settings when paired with compatible shower models. It manages the current load effectively across different flow rates.
Procurement managers should verify voltage compatibility for their specific facility. A 220V element will not function correctly on a 110V circuit. High-wattage components demand dedicated wiring and correctly rated circuit breakers. This ensures the electrical infrastructure handles the 31-ampere load safely.
Fame manufactures these elements to meet rigorous safety standards. The construction minimizes the risk of leakage current. Each unit undergoes testing for dielectric strength. This reliability makes the component suitable for high-traffic environments like gyms or residential complexes.

Bought this for my Super Ducha after the old one burnt out. It’s the original big size element and heats up very fast. Delivery to Thika was also quick.

I was worried about getting a fake one but this 6800W element is genuine. We live in a very cold area and the water is now steaming hot again. Very easy to fix even without a fundi if you are careful. Good value for money compared to what they sell in the local hardware shops.
