How to wire water heater safety switch
control water heater with switch
Another image
240V water heater can be controlled directly with a 30-amp double-pole switch
Rated 25 amp
Turn off both Hot wires.
Not necessary, since turning off 1 hot wire works fine. Read above
Use diagram that comes with device... my illustration shows house wires connected to bottom two screws, and load wires connected to top two screws... house wires can be connected top two scres, the result is same unless specified by product label.
A double pole switch will act as a 'power cut off switch' or 'safety switch' as required by some local codes.
