Guess how many water heaters we see with black-charred 🔥 wires? More than you’d expect, and it’s why we are careful to twist, twist, twist!
👍Prevents Arcing and Overheating: Water heaters draw high electrical current (often 240V)
👍Ensures Solid Mechanical Contact
👍Handles High Vibration and Load: Water heaters cycle heating elements on and off frequently, causing metal to expand and contract. Twisting distributes the mechanical load evenly and keeps the splice from slipping loose over time.
