When using this for a 220 hot water heater what size breaker do I need


Depends on wattage of water heater. Most new water heaters are 4500 watt so you could use either a 25 or 30 amp breaker. You should use 10-2 NM-B.

This product is rated for 30 Amps per the NEC so use a 30 Amp or smaller breaker. Check the water heater to make certain it does not require more than 30 Amps.
