For the hot water supply line – We strongly recommend using
3

compression fi tting or a fl exible stainless steel braided hot water supply line.
[Warning: Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a leak inside
the tube fi tting.]
You also need a 90° elbow with
3

” N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end and a fi tting sized to fi t
your hot water supply line (copper tubing/compression fi tting or braided hose) on the other.
For the power cable, we recommend a jacketed 12-2 cable with ground. Note that some local codes
may require the cable to have a BX style metal jacket.
