The electrical connection (mains cable to plug socket or unswitched fused spur) is straightforward, but if the moulded plug is removed and the cable wired directly, this must be done by a qualified electrician. The included inlet combination valve must be fitted on the cold supply line before the heater.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhy is stainless steel better than an enamel or mild steel tank?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eConventional mild steel or vitreous enamel tanks require a \u003cstrong\u003esacrificial magnesium anode\u003c\/strong\u003e which corrodes in place of the tank — and must be inspected and replaced periodically (typically every 2–3 years), failing which the tank itself corrodes. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tank requires no anode\u003c\/strong\u003e and has a substantially longer serviceable life with no planned maintenance. This makes it particularly well suited to installations where the unit is concealed behind a plinth panel and access for servicing is limited.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eCan it be installed vertically?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo\u003c\/strong\u003e — this unit is designed for \u003cstrong\u003ehorizontal installation only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
