My installer used this hose for the inlet. Looking at it, i think it's chromed hose.
How ever, this hose is in between 2 plastic fittings.
What do you guys think? Is it safe or not? Experts are welcomed to comment

There's a warning on the water heater stating "caution metallic/chromed hose and conductive control valve shall not be used"

QUOTE(jackal75 @ Sep 22 2017, 01:27 PM) Your concern should be more on the handle hose instead of that pipe hose, as you will be holding it or in touch of the water coming out from that to bath. But we can also accidentally touch the inlet hose if there is a short corcuitSo, if there is a power leak,the power can go through from there to your body. |

QUOTE(donald88 @ Sep 22 2017, 01:50 PM) I'm ok with the position. Maybe I'm a small person.Can you eloborate more on why do you think that it's unnecessary to change to a plastic hose? Don't you think it's dangerous to have a metallic hose at the inlet in the event of short circuit? |

QUOTE(ozak @ Sep 23 2017, 12:25 AM) How many meter the heater from the floor? Hmm the tiles are drilled already. Changing the position will leave the drilled tiles exposed and it wont look good anymore That look too low. Ask the installer reinstall the heater higher. Than change the inlet to PVC pipe. That solve your both problem. Pipe and height. |
