Three Wire Electrical Connection
IMPORTANT:
No white wire connection is required for this
3-wire appliance. If there is an existing neutral (white) wire
in the junction box, you must shield it for compliance with
the National Electrical Code.
See diagram on right.
1. Separate the wires coming out of the appliance conduit.
2. Connect the black wire from the appliance conduit to
the black (L1) supply wire in the junction box.
3. Connect the red wire from the appliance conduit to the
red (L2) supply wire in the junction box.
4. Connect the green wire from the appliance conduit to
the green (ground) wire in the junction box.

WARNING
•
Do not ground the appliance to a gas supply pipe or
hot water pipe.
•
If connecting the ground wire to a grounded cold water
pipe, connect it using a separate copper grounding
wire (No. 10 minimum) and a clamp with an external
grounding screw. The grounded cold water pipe must
have metal continuity to electrical ground and must not
be interrupted by insulating materials. Any insulating
materials must be jumped with a minimum 4 AWG wire
to establish continuity to ground. See diagram below
right.
NOTE
If the junction box has been properly grounded by a
licensed electrician, the green (ground) wire from the
appliance conduit may be connected to the junction box
using a loop terminal.
See diagrams on right.
1. Separate the wires coming out of the appliance conduit.
2. Connect the black wire from the appliance conduit to
the black (L1) supply wire in the junction box.
3. Connect the red wire from the appliance conduit to the
red (L2) supply wire in the junction box.
4. Connect the green wire from the appliance conduit to a
grounded cold water pipe as shown. Jumper any insu-
lating materials as shown with a length of No. 4 copper
wire. Securely clamp the wire to bare metal at both
ends.
