BIG Terminal Water Heater.

I installed one of these yesterday. It works well as a hand wash water heater. It is well made and stylish. But why are the electrical terminals so BIG? Perhaps the makers have used shower terminals as they can easily take 10.0mm2 cable.

    Did you observe that the notices inside refer to a “shower”. I thought odd to be using flex for the supply: I would like to have seen ferrules in that case.

    Only upon a second viewing Chris.  The terminals that I came across were bigger than the ones shown in the new hand wash unit in the video clip. The existing flex had ferrules fitted, but I could have put 10 of them in the big terminals. Certainly a doubling or tripling over of the wires will be needed if no ferrules are fitted.
