I have 12 gauge wire coming from wall and its about 4-6 inches short where it has meet on top of tanked heater.
Heater also has 12 gauge wire so if I had little 12 gauge wire somewhere ...I would make a pigtail but I don't have ..and I don't want to go to store......I have 14 and 10 gauge wire .....can I use any of them to pigtail ...it is only 6 inches short ...if yes ..what gauge should I prefer 14 or 10?
Also another problem ...if I use wire nut to make it longer....it will not fit in that flexible conduit ...
So what is the solution for that? @Terry
