Electrical Connections
The T-K2 requires a 60 Hz 120 VAC electrical
power supply, and it should be properly
grounded in accordance with the most recent
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and any local codes. In
Canada, all electrical wiring to the heater
should be installed in accordance with the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1,
and any local codes. Do not rely on the gas or
water piping to ground the metal parts of the
heater.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
error can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
• A means for switching off the 120 VAC
power supply must be provided.
• Wire the heater exactly as shown in the
wiring diagram.
• A green screw is provided in the junction
box for the grounding connection.
