Electrical Connections
All electrical wiring and connections must be in accordance with the National
Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition), or the Canadian Electrical
Code C22.1 (latest edition) and any local codes which may apply. The water
heater must be electrically grounded.
If a flexible line cord and plug is permitted by local code, then provide a (3)
three wire grounding type receptacle within 6 feet (1.9 m) of the water heater
and use the flexible cord provided. Do not plug the line cord into a receptacle
that can have its power supply interrupted by a switch that is used to turn on
and off lights.
If wiring in conduit is required, cut the flexible line cord flush with the bushing.
Remove the junction box cover and pull the pressure switch outside of the
junction box. Cut the three wires from the line cord at the bushing inside of the
junction box. Drill a hole to receive the ½” electrical conduit connector on the
backside of the blower. Wire the power supply into the circuit at the
appropriate locations. Replace the pressure switch and junction box cover.
CAUTION
Turn off or disconnect the electrical power supply to the water heater before
servicing. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
