UPDATE! BLACK WIRE ISNT GETTING A 120V TO THE WATER HEATER

I installed a new water heater last night 9:30 this morning I checked no hot water I thought maybe the breaker was bad so went and bought a new breaker put it in still nothing

I installed a new hot water heater last night 9:30 and this morning no hot water anywhere in the house I’ve checked both heating elements both are are 12.8 ohms and I do have 120v on each legs of power

I literally did the whole trouble shooting my old water heater was full of sediments so just decided to replace it I left all the hot side of water faucets running when filling I waited 15 mins to hook up wiring I’ve purged the t&p

I periodically last night turned and this morning and only cold water comes out left running for about a minute

Only thing the trouble shooting says is check resistance on the elements, voltage and leaks I don’t see leaks or feel any water around any of the new connections
