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
