The installation of these fittings is the responsibility of the installing contractor. 1. Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet to the appropriate connections as shown; refer to the drawing for location and sizes.
- Page 11 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 1. Enter junction box with properly sized feeder leads. Single-phase installations require two (2) leads; three phase installations require three (3) leads. 2.
