Same as running a wire into a service panel. I like Raco brand insider(s) but on larger cables like water heaters will usually use metal 2 screw. | |

Maybe I’m missing something but he’s not specifically concerned with the disconnect installation. Just the correct manner of feeding wire through a hole that will go to a disconnect box. There shouldn’t be a junction box or anything prior to the disconnect. The wiring should go straight to the disconnect. | |
