Under sink water heater

[Fredstudio]

Can any of the under sink water heaters be wired to a plug? I know can get 2 and 3 kw ones.

Yes.

Thanks is it the 2kw ones that are usually Ok with a plug?

 

[denso13]

2 or 3kw.

 

[Fredstudio]

Thanks was just looking at the Triton instaflow ones that come with flex and a plug on the unit

Used to fit the Hyco ones before but not sure if this can be fit to a plug?

 

[denso13]

Yes, if no more than 3kw. Always check the manufacturer's instructions as well.

Thanks, the Hyco ones say they should be connected to a double pole fixed fused spur. 13 amps. The appliance is 2kw

 

[denso13]

The one I looked at said it "should" be connected to an FCU, not "must". I would use a plug if I needed to.

Thanks I've done the Hyco ones before and I'm sure they used to recommend connecting to the 1/2male threads on top of the unit with flexis? Just downloaded some instructions no mention of flexis. I think I'd prefer to use 1/2 females to 15mm compressions
