How to wire a connection
I am desperate for hot water, hurricane took out power days ago, I have a generator with a 4 prong 240 v insert, and my hot water tank has 3 wires, a black, red (dark pink) and a green.
i can buy a 4 prong extension, but how do I wire the hot water tank to the plug?
thanks for any help

Jamelia, Make sure you get a heavy enough cable. 10 gauge wire would be heavy enough for sure; you may be able to use 12 gauge depending on the wattage of your heater, and also how long the cable will be. If you're not sure, post a pic of the label of the water heater.
