and suitable disconnecting means must be
provided by a qualified electrician.
All wiring must conform to local codes
or latest edition of National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
In order to conform with U.L.

that the Junction Box Kit be installed per
Figure 3 above. An opening for either
1/2” or 3/4” electrical fitting is provided
for field wiring connections.
The voltage requirements and wattage
load for the water heater are specified
on the rating plate on the front of the
water heater.
The branch circuit wiring should include
either:
Metallic conduit or metallic
sheathed cable approved for use as a
grounding conductor and installed
with fittings approved for the
purpose.
Non-metallic sheathed cable,
metallic conduit or metallic sheathed
cable not approved for use as a
