I am wanting to change out my old water heater and replace it with a new Power vent water heater. I just have one question is it good to run a 14/2 wire with a 15amp breaker with a GFCI or is better to run a 12/2 wire with a 20amp breaker with a GFCI. Thanks in advance for any help or input.
Personally, if I was a manufacture, I would list as many requirements as possible to avoid any blame to my product, so it makes perfect sense to label GFCI protection as not recommend, these recommendations are written by lawyers, not engineers as Greg wants to believe.... Bottom line folks, if you have a receptacle in an unfinished basement, I don't carte what appliance you are going to plug into this receptacle, it does not matter, that receptacle must have GFCI protection.
