Buying a Bighorn safe 19.1 Cu Ft.. Can I use this dryer or the rod type? Where do I get power for them? Is there a pre-drilled hole for a cord?

You can use ether one.I like this one because it is a convection action.So it takes the cool moist air and dies it.It works in my 50 cu ft safe.The power cord comes with the plug not installed.So You can stick it through a small hole in your safe.Then connect the plug.then plug in the wall.

This dryer will work if you have a Pre drilled hole for electronics use in bottom of right or left corner in the safe. I have a big 64 gun safe that I use mine in.

I would consider a Rod type on a safe that big. My safe is a 14 gun with an interior cubic foot measurement of 6.4 but the Peet dryer does work well . The plug end of the cord is not attached so you either run it out one of the bolt holes or drill a small hole thru the side and run the cord thru it before attaching the plug end.

No it must be mounted so many feet from the dryer discharge. I don't remember the exact distance but it is listed in the installation guide if you can find that. My vent was in the slab of my house so we had to run a new vent.

But-of-course, you'll have to supply the Charles De Gaulle accent locally :-)). You have almost described my installation less the 15' form dryer part. I have discovered that there is a sensitivity to gusts of wind that don't seem to be adjustable. :-(, or the wind has a better path for my installation. Not too much bother, BUT, not perfect. According to instruction I believe you have better than 25' + whatever the Ls add as leeway.

The unit I ordered and received specifically did not have a power cord. I purchased grounded 12-gauge cable from a local store, cut to length, and wired it. It was fairly simple. Just remember to use a proper gauge of cord that is appropriate to the length needed--to limit resistance and possible overheating/fire. The only other wiring needed was the connection of the thermostat cable that came with my unit.

The cords are very easy to obtain at any local appliance store or big box hardware store(Lowe's, Home Depot ect.) You need to figure out if you need a 3 or 4 prong dryer cord. We do sell dryer cords you can contact me if you would like me to add it to your order, although we do not sell the venting.

Get the specs on the motor. The socket should be able to handle 15amp routinely. The power should be limited to 110V + 15A, which is about 1500 W (VA). The only issue may be when the motor turns on. If the bearings are worn, there could be a spike in the current when it turns on. So, if the motor is good (or new) -- which you can check using one of those Watt Meters -- and you limit the power to about what a hair dryer uses, then you are ok. Hope this helps

I only used my dryer once because a piece broke off and the hood collapsed. In my opinion, this hood dryer is poorly made. To answer your question, the hood dryer might be a little tight if you are using jumbo rollers.

Anode rods for the most part have a standard size pipe fitting attached to them. As far as Sears products go, they, in my experience tend to have a captive lock on their products. All I can suggest is , buy it and pull the old one out and match the fitting ends, if they match drop it in. If they don't you have to go through sears online parts department.

I think the shipper gives you the choice of a "pig tail" cord or other. We have an older system that has the hose outlet and then the plug beside it so I got the pig tail electrical cord that gives some slack to plug into the wall outlet. I also still have my old power head that I keep downstairs and it hooks up just fine to that it also has the two prong.

buy the right plug and put it on the welder cord. I run mine out of a dryer outlet. As long as you have 220-230 volts and 30 or more amps you are in good shape.

As of mid 2015, we (the manufacturer) have migrated to a "shoehorn" like device or tool that better facilitates the easing in of the duct pipe into the hole or port. We do not provide the collar extension any longer as we feel the shoehorn works much better.

I asked this question over and over before I bought mine. Finally I took the plunge and here's what I know. I have great luck venting the dryer into the little venting attachment that's only about $8 or something. I thought it would create way too much humidity in my little cabin. Not so. I was running it during the hottest, most humid months of last summer with no problem. I ALSO have the same dryer in my apartment (I live in a different place in the winter. Why? Have you every been in northern Wisconsin in the winter? HAHA) and I don't vent it. It does create some humidity, but it's fine with me. I guess I wouldn't put it right next to Grandma's 150-year-old antique buffet, lest it makes it fall apart. I absolutely love my Sonya dryers. Highly recommended.

Interesting question, I never use those things. The dryer comes with one, you may like it, but in response the nozzle goes 2" until beginning to get wider and it is 6.25" circumference, as that seems like an important point.

If it is only a matter of reach, there is an extension kit that can be added to the base brush kit to make it reach a lot further. If it is a matter of being impacted with packed lint that needs to be dislodged, I would suggest running the dryer on air dry (no heat) and approaching from the exit end outside the house so that you have the brush trying to pull and dislodge the lint while the dryer blower is pushing. The downstream end of the blockage should be more easily penetrated by the brush since it has been protected from the additional buildup of lint. The brush does tend to feed itself into the blockage when drill is in forward mode since the bristles are in a screw pattern. Also, you only need enough length to reach half way through your vent pipe, if you can work from both ends. The rods will turn corners that are wider than 90 degrees in the vent pipe just fine. If nothing else, you should find out where the blockage is located in the pipe so you know where to tear in if the lint will not dislodge. Good luck.

I am not sure I don't ever use it. The actual hair dryer stopped working. Cord is attached so must be loose inside of unit. I am going to try and take apart and fix but haven't had time.

The best thing to do is to contact the seller but I have my doubts as it has electrical components. I intend to have my mother in law put it in a dry cleaning bag and put it on low in the dryer with one of those dry cleaning sheets. Sorry hope this helps.

Sorry but no. Because a dryer needs a lot of power, it has a different style of plug. This extension can carry a maximun of 20 Amps, your dryer needs 30 Amps. and uses a large "crowsfoot" plug.
