It took me forever to find out that this is called a disconnect box. Thank God for handymen content creators like you who make these videos. God bless.
black or red tape should be wrapped around the white wire at the panel and and in this disconnect. this identifies the wire as a power wire and not a common wire. i do commend that a disconnect is being installed. so many video on you tube about installing wiring don’t have and type of switch or disconnect near the electric hot water heater. nec code .
Thanks for sharing this video with us, your more than 20.7K subscribers. The video is certainly very informative and after watching it I can now install my home's electric water heater to the disconnect switch which I bought at Lowe's yesterday. Thanks again!
I thought you might have wondered off the beaten path and got eaten by a bear Lol.😅 Good to see you making another video keep up the good work my friend have a good weekend. I the beautiful hills of Kentucky
Hey Tim! Nice to see you back. You giving up the sunshine state for the bluegrass state? I did that many years ago and didn't regret it. Godspeed on your project and thanks as always for the video!
I'm looking for 10-2 water heater wire (or appliance whip) that has both these features: 1. solid copper wire, not stranded wire & 2. red, black and insulated green, instead of white, black and bare copper. Any online source? Also: someone commented on another video that a household 40 to 50 gallon water heater with dual 4500 Watt heating elements should more accurately/ideally be connected to a 25 AMP electric panel circuit breaker, instead of a 30 AMP breaker. Also: Siemens Model GNF221A "General Duty 30 Amp 2-Pole 2-Wire 240-Volt Non-Fusible Indoor Safety Switch" may be a bit more convenient option for a quick disconnect next to a water heater, for manually turning on/off heater only when needed.

Very well presented. I saw one DIY guy that said the white wires had to have black tape on them for NEC Code.

Put a conduit plug over the unused knockout on the side of the disconnect tub before the inspector comes.
Got it thanks

Good description! But what box did you use. I'm unable to find a 30amp nonfused box. I see many 60amp. Can that be used?
Yes a 60 amp will work
Thanks for watching
was this a fuzed or non fuzed installation and which version is required
And that's why I told my son-in-law white isn't always ground! Down south anything goes.
More vids coming Tim?
Southerners do some janky stuff.
