I am assuming this is the HOT ROD kit you are referring too... How many WATTS is this device... Hopefully something you can run from an INVERTER when you are running off the power grid.

This will have to inserted into the HOT WATER HEATER and from the photo you posted I don't see the bottom unused drain port my Surburban model has. It may be hidden by your propane pilot light assy and I cant see it.

My water drain port shown on the very bottom here is a standard size port where you would screw in the HOT ROD element.
Where are you going to insert the electric element into your hot water heater.
