- Weatherproof wiring enclosure (NEMA 4)
- For tanks larger than 500 gallon use multiple heaters
- Heaters over 10 amps, 480 volt, or three phase must be used with a contactor
- Amps = Watts ÷ Volts for single phase
- Amps = Watts ÷ (Volts x 1.73) for three phase
- Wiring diagram included with heater
Caution:
- Heaters must be mounted horizontally
- Do not mount from the top down
- Heaters must be immersed at all times
