## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this water heater have a sacrificial anode to protect it from corrosion? I am replacing an ariston 2.5 that rusted out very rapidly.**
A: Yes, go to Reliance company site for all details

**Q: can i plug this in to a regular wall outlet? if so would it need its own outlet?**
A: It doesn't come with a cord. You can permanently install or get a cord kit. You should install on a dedicated 20A circuit.

**Q: Does this plug into a 110 recepticle or do you need to hard wire it?**
A: It does not have a cord. Wiring a circuit to your panel box is best. With a 1500w element it pulls 12.5 amps so you could also wire it with a #12 120 volt cord and plug it in the wall but remember it should be the only appliance on the circuit. Follow all safety precautions when working with electricity.

**Q: What size MPT are the inlet and outlet?**
A: Sorry, my son did the actual installation. I'm reasonably sure that both re 1/2 inch but couldn't swear to it. The Reliance web site should have a spec sheet
