Is a Disconnect required at a point of use HWH or instant hot water heater, As Manuf, by Eemax? If a disconnect is required can it be omittted if a breaker lock is used?

Welcome to the forum.

An electric water heater is an electrical appliance and needs to have a disconnecting means in accordance with Part III of Article 422.

I just noticed that this thread is in the "Proposals/Comments for the next NEC cycle" forum. I have decided to move it here where it is more applicable and will get more views.

Per 422.31 (B), I would say a breaker lock would be adequate to satisfy the disconnect requirement.

I too agree.
