QUOTE(ozak @ Sep 26 2017, 09:31 AM) Most of the heater is using side entry. But how they seal it properly will be their design strength. Standard electrical wiring is bottom entry or the wires to make bottom loop down then up into the terminals.. Ya, bottom or slant down will be better design.  As you have already figured out its to prevent gravity water seepage into the electrical enclosure.. silicon seal the cable entry as per your installation is better.. |

QUOTE(GAMEOVER @ Sep 26 2017, 03:15 PM) If I'm gonna replace my old heater with a new one (other brands), do I have to drill the screw holes again? Dunno whether heaters got a universal placement for the screw holes. No need..Get a timber furring strip (say a 1"x2") and attach the strip using the original holes.. Attach your new heater screw mounts onto the furring strip.. |
