Another Heater Wiring Question

Actually, there are stainless bolts running through those nylon standoffs and connecting the choke frames to the aluminum top plate. I'll check continuity though.
Thanks

Apologies for the delay, it took a while to find my two 866A's... I powered them up using a bench PSU and got similar results for both valves. Both pulled nearly 6A when first switched on, then settled to 4.6A @ 2.5v bang on after 5 minutes, so your reading of 4.4A isn't too far off. It might tax your tfmr a bit at first but see how you go.
