This document provides essential installation requirements for the Airthereal 14KW tankless water heater. Installation must be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with all national, state, provincial, and local electrical and plumbing codes.
Safety and Warnings
Warning: Under no circumstances should you attempt to clean, install, inspect, repair, disassemble, or otherwise service this water heater without first shutting off all power to the unit directly at the circuit breaker box. Failure to follow this instruction can result in serious bodily injury or death.
Electrical Requirements
Before installation, confirm that your breaker panel meets the following specifications:
- Voltage: 240V (not 120V)
- Circuit Breaker: 1x 60A Double Pole Circuit Breaker
- Wiring: 1x 6AWG/2 Wire
If you do not have the correct infrastructure, you must have a professional install a new outlet, breaker, and/or wiring.
Installation Steps
- Turn off the power at the main breaker panel.
- Take each wire pair and connect them to one breaker. Ensure that each breaker is connected with one black wire (L2) and one red wire (L1).
- Use a suitable wire gauge that meets all applicable electrical codes for the size of the breakers used. Run the correct sets of wire from the main breaker panel to the tankless water heater.
- A separate ground conductor is required.
- Double-check the electrical connections to ensure they are correct and that all wire connections are tight and secure.
