| AllPoints 34-1046 master-catalog copy, as printed by a distributor | “Measuring 10-7/8 inches, this heating element operates at 240V/60/1 and delivers a powerful 5500W output. It is a direct replacement for several models, including GE/Hobart XNC12X204/351306-7, General Electric XNC12X204, Hobart 340307-2, 340307-3, and Vulcan Hart 351306-7.” | The 5500 W part is a 10-7/8 in element for 340307-2/-3 and 351306-7 — a different body, not a lower-wattage version of the 50-series element. | distributor listing |
