The proper thing to do is run a dedicated circuit for the water heater. To
do it properly you need 10 awg cable

I would like to use a 120 V 2K watt water heater element for anout an hour
from time to time as a boiler in my garage which also has a refrigerator
in
it.The breakers in the house are 20 AMP.Will this circuit support this or
should I put the frig on another circuit?
