Installation
This condition is not unusual and will disappear
Ÿ
once water is heated. If condition persists,
examine fittings for potential leaks and repair, as
required.
NOTICE
Do not mis-wire electrical connections.
120VAC must be applied to the water
heater as shown in 'Water heater junction
box' illustration.
3.6 Electrical Connections
A separate branch circuit with copper conductors,
overcurrent protective device 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.
The water heater is completely wired to the
junction box at the top of the water heater. An
opening for 1/2" electrical fitting is provided for
field wiring connections. The voltage requirements
and wattage load for the water heater are
specified on the rating label on the front of the
water heater.
The branch circuit wiring should include either:
1. Metallic conduit or metallic sheathed cable
approved for use as a grounding conductor and
installed with fittings approved for the purpose.
2. Nonmetallic sheathed cable, metallic conduit or
metallic sheathed cable not approved for use as
a ground conductor shall include a separate
conductor for grounding. It should be attached
to the ground terminals of the water heater and
the electrical distribution box.
3. Factory provided power cord included in the
packaging with this water heater.

To connect power to the water heater:
1. Turn the power off at circuit breaker.
2. Remove the screw/screws holding the junction
box top cover.
3. Route the electrical wiring through provided
strain relief and opening in the junction box
cover.
4. Install Line to Line, Neutral to Neutral and
Ground to Ground, per illustration on this page.
5. Reconnect all screws attaching the junction box
covers.
WARNING
Risk of fire or electrical shock. Ensure both
junction box covers and ground screws are
securely fastened for proper grounding.
NOTICE
Install electric connections according to local
codes or latest edition of National Electrical
Code ANSI NFPA 70.
WARNING
Proper ground connection is essential. The
presence of water in the piping and water
heater does not provide sufficient
conduction for a ground. Nonmetallic
piping, dielectric unions, flexible connectors,
etc., can cause the water heater to be
electrically isolated. Do not disconnect
factory ground.
