    Default New water heater installation

    In an existing house, when a new water heater is installed, should an in-sight or lockable disconnect also be installed if one was not available before?

    Thanks

    It was a requirement for the original one and is still a requirement, so the answer is yes.

    WC Jerry,

    You mean 422.31, right?
