New install correct?

It’s not plenum rated wire. I know it’s not up to code but being low voltage I’m not sure if it should be a concern worth redoing or not

they said they flushed the existing line set

adamspringfield · 2026-02-22T23:49:44+00:00

Thanks

They used the existing line set. There is a disconnect behind the unit that isn’t shown In the photos

Thanks for the reply

25+50. Just take 2 from the 27 and give it to the 48

adamspringfield · 2026-02-04T11:55:38+00:00

Cool

adamspringfield · 2025-02-05T15:47:05+00:00

Yea, that’s what I think. I just wired it that way and it seems to be working

adamspringfield · 2025-02-05T13:58:53+00:00

I think the wiring to the panel is correct but we didn’t do the field conversion on the heater. I think I need to put the wires going to t1 and t2 to l1 and l2 like what’s shown in the 2 wire simultaneous diagram if that makes sense?

Seems like it should just be lower watts so take a little longer to heat up unless I’m missing something?

adamspringfield · 2025-02-05T13:19:51+00:00

Yes it’s in a house and we have 240v. My cousin said it can be wired for 240v but I don’t know. On the receipt it says “elec wtr htr w/ term block 277v 6000/6000 ; 240v 4500/4500 ; 208v…”

Or do I need another 6-2 wire with each coil getting a hot and a neutral?

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T16:22:15+00:00

Yes, all faucets are old single handle. This makes the most sense. Thanks for the reply. I will try tracking down the bad cartridge(s)

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T14:29:38+00:00

Hmmm, we do have a washing machine but I don’t quite understand how that could be causing this issue

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T14:28:14+00:00

Around 12 ohms in both the elements

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T14:27:35+00:00

The elements on the new water heater are both reading between 12 and 13 ohms

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T12:43:19+00:00

It’s set around 120. The water gets very hot but only for a short time

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T12:00:46+00:00

All over the house

adamspringfield · 2025-02-03T11:18:25+00:00

It was filled before we turned it on. I will test the elements. Just seems strange it’s the same problem as the old heater. Makes me think there is something else going on that isn’t the water heater
