## Questions & Answers

**Q: 81vp20s rheem would this fit this model 20 gallon 240 4500 watt**
A: The SP610160 is a 4500W replacement copper fused upper Marathon water heater element. This element is for the following Marathon water heater models:

MR30245
MR40245
MR50245
MR75245
MR85245
MR105245
MSR50245

**Q: i have a rheem 6e80-2 water heater it is around 10-12 years old will this element fit top & bottom??**
A: You will need to check with the mfr. to ensure this element will fit your particular model and type of water heater.

**Q: does this fit model mr75245?  is it the same for top and bottom?**
A: I'm not sure about that specific model. I purchased this element for a Rheem Marathon that requires a 4500 watt replacement. I also had to purchase the 1-7/8" socket that only fits these elements. As far as I know it will work fine for the top or bottom.

**Q: will it fit the Marathon ( MR50245 B )   top & bottom?**
A: Answer no.

Answer no. According to my notes, the SP610160 Element is the Upper Heating Element (not the Lower) for Rheem Marathon Water Heater Model MR50245. I don’t know about Model MR50245 B.
