Electrical Connections
(In addition to the instruction manual.)
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 ft. (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.
Turn off the water heater gas control and disconnect power to the water heater. If
wiring in conduit is required, cut the flexible line cord at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) from the
bushing. Unscrew and remove the blower junction box assembly. Pull the cord into
the junction box assembly housing. Cut the three wires from the line cord at the
bushing inside of the housing. Enlarge the hole in the back of the blower junction box
assembly to receive a 1” electrical conduit connector. Wire the power supply into the
circuit at the appropriate locations.
Replace the blower junction box assembly and re-install the screws previously
removed. Connect power to the water heater. Turn the water heater gas control back
on.
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.
