Abstract: A boiler for heating a flow capable medium, especially for heating water, comprising a boiler housing made from plastic and a heater protruding through a mounting hole in the boiler housing into the interior of the boiler housing, being fixated in the mounting hole through a fixation means. Furthermore the interior diameter of the mounting hole in the boiler housing is at least in sections approximately identical to the outer diameter of the heater and the heater has an unheated section in the area of the mounting hole.

Abstract: A heating apparatus for heating a fluid, in particular in domestic appliances, which comprises a tubular casing, at least one electrical resistance heating wire which is arranged in the interior of the tubular casing and which is embedded in an electrically insulating, heat-conducting insulating material in the tubular casing, at least one connection unit which is arranged in the interior of the tubular casing and which is passed outwardly out of the tubular casing for connection of the electrical resistance heating wire to an electrical energy source disposed outside the tubular casing, and at least one closure bead which closes the opening of the tubular casing. It is further provided that the connection unit is also surrounded by the insulating material within the tubular casing to the closure bead and the closure bead is, at its outside, provided with at least one filling slot which extends over its entire axial length.
