Selecting the right heating element for your dental furnace isn't just about temperature capability - it's about finding the perfect dimensional match, electrical specification, and performance characteristics for your specific equipment. With over 20 major dental furnace models compatible with WALLA's WL1800 MOSI2 elements, this comprehensive guide will help you identify the exact specifications you need.

Understanding Element Specification Codes

Before diving into specific equipment compatibility, it's essential to understand how MOSI2 element specifications are coded:

Decoding the Specification Format

Example: U4/9×100LE×120LU×25A

• U: Indicates U-shaped element configuration
• 4/9: Hot zone diameter (4mm) / Cold zone diameter (9mm)
• 100LE: Length of hot zone (heating section) in millimeters
• 120LU: Length of cold zone (terminal section) in millimeters
• 25A: Distance between legs in millimeters

This standardized format ensures precise compatibility matching across different furnace manufacturers and models.
