Installation Instructions
Electrical Connections 240 Volt Supply: GE20L08BA*
A separate branch circuit with copper conductors,
overcurrent protective device and suitable
disconnecting means must be provided by a qualified
electrician.
All wiring must conform to local codes or latest edition
of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
The water heater is completely wired to the junction
box at the top of the water heater. An opening for 1/2"
electrical fitting is provided for field wiring connections.
The voltage requirements and wattage load for the
water heater are specified on the rating label on the
front of the water heater.
The branch circuit wiring should include
either:
1. Metallic conduit or metallic sheathed cable approved
for use as a grounding conductor and installed with
fittings approved for the purpose.
2. Nonmetallic sheathed cable, metallic conduit or
metallic sheathed cable not approved for use
as a ground conductor shall include a separate
conductor for grounding. It should be attached to
the ground terminals of the water heater and the
electrical distribution box.
To connect power to the water heater:
1. Turn the power off at circuit breaker.
2. Remove the screw/screws holding the junction box
top cover.
3. Route the electrical wiring through provided strain
relief and opening in the junction box cover.
4. Install Line to Line, Neutral to Neutral and Ground to
Ground, per illustration on this page.
5. Reconnect all screws attaching the junction box
covers..
WARNING
Risk of fire or electrical shock.
Ensure both junction box covers and ground
screws are securely fastened for proper
grounding.
NOTE: Install electric connections according to local
codes or latest edition of National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
WARNING
Proper ground connection is
essential. The presence of water in the piping
and water heater does not provide sufficient
conduction for a ground. Nonmetallic piping,
dielectric unions, flexible connectors, etc., can
cause the water heater to be electrically isolated.
Do not disconnect factory ground.
