I am not sure is it because i use screw driver instead of machine, it seems very hard to screw

1)I can't screw finish
2)that socket will just go out of place and leave gap below like pic

Can i use the socket like this? For water heater

use shorter screw

NO. Use the Centon water heater connector. Do it right before people die.

Pls read the PDF in it’s entirety. https://www.st.gov.my/en/contents/publicati...r%20Systems.pdf

Take it out and arrange the cable nicely. It's the cable that's preventing it from sitting flat.

Depends on where is the cable. My contractor install the water heater back directly on the cabling area.

Yes. Basically it means no socket was used.

Yeah as mentioned by ceo684, NEVER EVER use plug & socket to connect your water heater, as stated by Suruhanjaya Tenaga guideline for water heater installation (screenshot below). Plug & socket connections are not water proof and increase your risk of getting electrocution, plus the plug's fuse might burn and cause a fire.




You can either connect your water heater directly to the power supply (with sufficient cable size, any water heater below 5.711kW should use at minimum 4mm² cable, according to Suruhanjaya Tenaga guideline), or if u want a tidy replacement for your 3-pin socket on the wall, u can get those SIRIM-approved splashproof water heater connectors, such as this CENTON Connector. This brand comes with a 1 meter 4mm² cable, while most other brands doesn't.
