I just installed a 50 Gallon water heater and had hot water in 30-40 minutes. You must have bought the wrong voltage element most are 3500 btu or 4500 btu be sure and check the old element for the correct wattage. Do you have a volt meter? If so place one end on the black wire and the other on the red or (white) wire and see if you have electricity flowing threw it. Did you connect the green (Ground) wire sometimes I forget to connect this one.
If all is checks out your Ok if not you have purchased a bad element.
