What size wire needed?

6 gauge, I can't recommend the model though. It caused lights in the room to flicker. I ended up getting an EcoSmart 11 EcoSmart ECO 11 Electric Tankless Water Heater, 13KW at 240 Volts with Patented Self Modulating Technology and changing the Rheem out fo the EcoSmart. The specs are the same for each model. 125 amp sub panel minimum, 60 amp dipole breaker for the 6 gauge wire that needs to be run to the unit

its called #6/3 wire Home Depot had it for $2.79 a ft. and it can draw 54 amp depending how cold the water coming in is.

It calls for a 60 amp breaker. Check with home depot or lowes or whoever sells you the needed 60 amp 220 volt breaker. I used copper 2 conductor 6 gage with bare 8 gage copper safety ground. Not sure what code in your area wants though. How far is it from the heater to the circuit box? Mine is only about 12 ft. If you have a real long run you may need to go to a bigger gage yet but I doubt it. This thing does suck a lot of power!

You will need an install kit appropriate for your receiver; signal, power and ground wires. You may choose to include a remote-on wire but not required. The wire size depends on the peak draw current and length. For this case requesting a 30A fuse - 10ga power wires should be fine unless you plan to stretch it longer than 20 ft.

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

The previous answers are correct. Thermostat wire is what I used. A good hardware store or the big box stores will have it on a roll so you can order the length you need.

The 12 gauge wire is really thick. It is about the thickness of a rubber hair tie. I think you need like 18 gauge or smaller. Wire is smaller as the gauge gets higher.

This may be a little light for your use. I would use a heavier gauge wire. (10 or 15 gauge).

most systems at 12 volt use 10 amps or less of power. Therefore, 16 to 18 guage wire should work just fine.

Actually #12 wire should be used with a 20Amp breaker. NEC only requires #14 to be used with a 15 amp circuit breaker. So #14 wire should be sufficient

25 amp (120volt x 25amp equals 3000watts) use at least #4 wire under 10' #2 above

i'm using mine on standard wire size that is on the solar panels.,not sure what that actual size is.,if you need it i will check the wire tomorrow.

Use TWO/2 Gauge wire and you'll be fine... better have your engine running though... 1500 watts will drain the battery very quickly.

Not sure of the wire size but it's plenty for a 12V system. The terminal holes are good for 1/4" or 5/16" posts.

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

Good morning. If applicable, you must purchase a brand preferably MSD 8mm wires so that you have good conduction power.

I am not sure what size to use, but if you used a 14 gauge wire, I think you should be fine.

I would hard wire for this application with a wall switch at house level. Not sure you need 12 gauge wire. I believe 14 will work.

I think you'll need wire as the plus and minus protrude maybe 1/2 inch if memory serves me right!
