yea codes want to much whats unsafe about romex its insulated just like a extension cord is should have drain tho it that pops off your home is flooded
Well, that's because any permananetly installed electrical wire is considered a fire hazard, and should be enclosed within a fire enclosure, i.e. an electrical box, or a flex conduit. A fire enclosure has very limited to no airflow, so if any electrical fire breaks out it is put out immediately due to the lack of oxygen. If the exposed romes causes a fire that fire won't be contained and will propagate. As for the extension cables, the code limits them to non permanent installation. You can't have an extension cable powering your water heater, just like the exposed romex.
Bro...bro....what are you thinking.... You CANNOT have romex exposed like that. From wall to the water heater conductors must be in flex conduit or sealtite. Connections must be done inside the box on the waterheater. And any 220/240 white conductor used as a hot must be phased red in a single phase panel like yours. Lastly the entry to the panel requires a bushing or a chase nipple
Adding additional wire protection is definitely a good Idea to prevent animals from nibbling, I would only argue that many homes have romex not in conduit, most 110 outlets also have no conduit and can equally be a fire hazard. if you recall me stating I am not a professional and video is for entertainment.
I agree about the connections being in the box but the exposed romex isn't as big of a deal since this is in a closet containing just the heater not open in a basement or area where the wires may get snagged. .
What if there was water spewing up and the wires burned. Cut wires, dried out and redoing. I dont want to lay them back in box. This is just until we can go with truck to get a new one. Question why would exposed wrapped wires be an issue. In box or out?
sorry if video did not help you, hopefully it helped someone, either way plenty more videos out there, it worked for me. not trying to make money off the video just giving back to the youtube community. Perhaps you should put a video together.
Everytime I see this guy I laugh must be the home owner filming this , I think it be safer for the home owner to lock him or her self in a bed room well lock cause this guy is up to some thing real suspicious iam all the in jamaica 🇯🇲lamo shame on u UA-cam
Don’t you want to use flex conduit to electric line?
TPR Valve Drain tube missing is a code violation as well. Exposed romex wire is a code violation. This is unsafe and should be corrected.

Dude are you filming a wire or electrical harrow movie
Lmao what was the first clue? The stripped wires on the breaker? 🤣
Wiring is absolutely a code violation!

This is how not to wire anything
Wires have to go inside the box of the water heater not expose damnn you do need some classes
Say what you want, six months later and still works just fine, and I did stick wires under the box

Where is your means of disconnect?
You leave to much wire exposed at your breaker
Yeah a LOT of things haha
😲You Forgot A lot Of Things⁉️🤦🏼♂️
