I fried my hot water heater element

Went to winterize the trailer (sadness) and decided to get a jump on draining the hot water tank before I even hooked the power. Well you guessed it, I didn't follow my normal winterizing routine and simply flip the little on/off switch to off in the hot water tank, and the switch was left on in the trailer, which I usually always turn off at the end of any trip. Hooked up power and realized later the switch was on in the trailer. So I've searched for the correct heater element and can not really find the exact part number for my model # SW12DEL hot water heater. I found this:


https://www.amazon.com/ONENESS-369-W.../dp/B09C9XQ67Y

Are the heating elements universal? Seems like a good deal, I will certainly need the removal tool.

Easy to replace, should be fine. I’ve done it too, but you never forget to turn it off once you’ve replaced it! Lowes and Home Depot carry them as well.

I went to Lowes and bought the 1500W heating element, #146227 and they had the removal tool, the element was half the Amazon price and the tool was $2 less, (but it only has the heating element wrench not the combination with the anode end). When I got the old one out it is 9" long. The Lowes element is 5 1/2 inches long. I don't think that matters as long as the wattage is correct....Thoughts?

A little less efficient maybe, but should be fine.
