in THE MAIN WALL
Is a domestic water heater (DWH) with an electric cord with a standard 120 volt 3 prong plug an approved method of connecting to the electric supply. I was thinking that BX or conduit was the correct method.

    On Demand Toyotomi

    It is an on demand oil fired Toyotomi. Maximum 120 watts usage. Does it need to be connected to an emergency shut off switch? New York state is the location.

    Code Book

    Check your local library for the New York electrical code book. Then call your town and see if they supersede the NY code.
