Electric Tankless Water Heaters Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements For Our ET-32, EP-7.0, and EP-2.4:
Before installing your electric tankless water heater, it is very important to be sure that you have the correct amount of amps, breakers, and wire size not only for these units to function properly, but more importantly, for your safety. Before mounting any of these units, be sure to allow at least 18 inches of working space above and below your unit. We also strongly recommend to have these units professionally installed by an electrician.
