Electrical Connections 

 

Before any electrical connections are made, be sure that the water heater is 
full of water and that the manual shut-off valve in the cold water supply line is 
open. Check the rating plate and wiring diagram before proceeding.  This 
electric water heater was built and wired in accordance with the Underwriters 
Laboratories testing approvals requirements.  The temperature limiting 
device is of the manual reset, trip-free type and has been factory installed to 
interrupt all ungrounded power supply conductors in the event of thermostat 
failure.  Thermostats are factory set and wired in accordance with the wiring 
diagram fastened to the inside of the top access panel.  The plumbing 
supplier in your area ordered this heater wired at the factory to comply with 
existing area codes, but local utility codes may require or allow other 
circuitry.  Consult your local power company to determine the correct 
electrical hook-up in order to meet local utility and building codes and in 
order to obtain the most economical rates.  Also check to find out if you are 
required to obtain a permit before starting the installation.  The following 
chart shows the recommended fuse size for the maximum water heater 
wattage.  The maximum wattage and rated voltage are shown on the water 
heater data plate.  The water heater must be well grounded.  A green ground 
screw is provided at the electrical connection point for connecting a ground 
wire.  Ground screw on 10 & 15-gallon models is located under the 
removable element cover.
