Water Heater Element Fire #shorts

As a homeowner, it’s tempting to take on DIY projects to save money and feel a sense of accomplishment. However, when it comes to installing a new water heater, this may not be the best idea. While it may seem like a simple task, there are numerous dangers associated with installing a water heater yourself that should not be taken lightly.

Installing a water heater that runs on electricity may seem like an easy task, but it can pose serious dangers to homeowners who don’t have the proper knowledge and experience. One of the most important things to consider when installing an electric water heater is wiring. Improper wiring or faulty installation can cause electrical shock or even start a fire, which could result in serious harm or damage to your home.

To prevent these dangers, it’s essential to fill the tank with water and purge any air from the lines before turning on the power. This will ensure that the water heater functions safely and efficiently and that there are no electrical hazards to worry about.

Nice demo. Any idea of the wattage/voltage rating of this element. I see the 12/2 w/G NM and water heaters require 10/2 w/G. And a disconnect switch near the tank if the breaker box is not within sight and 50 feet.

That’s called dry firing As it overheats due to there being no water in the tank which is caused by the power being turned on too early breaking the tank
