"Product Specifications" section for the correct size wire and fuse or circuit breaker.

3.If metal conduit is used for the grounding conductor:

A.The grounding electrode conductor shall be of copper,

aluminum, or copperclad aluminum. The material shall be of one continuous length without a splice or joint.

B.Rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, or elec-

trical metallic tubing may be used for the grounding

means if conduit or tubing is terminated in fittings approved for grounding.

C. Flexible metal conduit or flexible metallic tubing shall be

permitted for grounding if all the following conditions are met:

1.The length in any ground return path does not exceed 6 feet.

2.The circuit conductors contained therein are protected by overcurrent devices rated at 20 amperes or less.

3.The conduit or tubing is terminated in fittings approved for grounding.

For complete grounding details and all allowable exceptions, refer to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code.

4.A standard _" conduit opening has been made in the water heater junction box for the conduit connection.

5.Wiring Diagrams (See Wiring Diagrams Section) have been supplied showing the two most common types of connec- tions between the water heater and the power supply. You can

connecting the water heater to power a supply that has a "T'me Clock" or Off Peak Meter. To make these connec-

tions refer to block 1 or 2 in this wiring diagram for the type of system you have.

NOTE: If you have purchased a three wire connection water heater but you are not on a "Time Clock" or "Off

Peak" meter and have a standard two wire connection

lower supply, simply follow the connection diagram in

lock 3. of the Three Wire Connection Diagram.

6.Use wire nuts and connect the power supply wiring to the wires ins'de the water heaters junction.

7.The water heater must be electrically "grounded" by the installer. A green ground screw has been provided on the

water heater's junction box. Connect ground wire to this location.

8.Replace the wiring junction cover using the screw provided.
