can this towel bar be hardwired during new construction?

Wouldn't be any problem for someone with the slightest electrical ability or knowledge

Sure. I hardwired mine. Just disconnect the pigtail cord and replace it with the hardwire. It doesn't go directly through the pipes into the wall, so there is a short piece of wire that sticks out between the wall and the towel bar. But it's at the bottom and doesn't show with towels hanging.

No its meant to be hard wired, you will need to buy the proper fixture to plug into wall

You can hardwire but you must use the transformer in between. I just plugged mine into an outlet that I have a wireless remote for so I could turn it on and off without plugging and unplugging.

Yes, but you will have to get creative about how you keep the wire up without grounding out.

no, Hard-Wired means that it connects directly to an electrical light outlet box installed in the wall; usually done by an electrician but a good handyman could probably do it

The cord on mine is located on the bottom right hand bar. It's very long! The electrician who installed ours said it could be shortened but we just folded it up and as the plug socket is behind where we have the rail mounted, towels hide it. I have three of these, two are hard wired and that is the best way to go if you can. They all perform very well and I am pleased with how they look.

No, This isn't like a standard 120V outlet that you can cut/ break the bar. This one has built in pig tails that are wire nutted into the power.

I think it would be too much of a power load. mine is used for computer and all of the cords that run out of it . including overload bar.

Althought it could be done, I do not suggest hardwiring. Install a separate outdoor (metal) type electrical box and a GFI receptacle and plug the pipe heater into it. In addition, if you cut off the plug, it would probably void the manufacturers product warranty.

If you already have the end jack already hardwired.....yes. I did not, and so thus had to hire an electrician.

I suppose if you have someone handy to help you. There would be holes where the towel bar was meant to go that need to be filled. Holes would have to be drilled where you want the towel bar. You would have to put the hoes for the towel bar along side the drawer. Probably have to use something to strengthen the bolts you put in for the towel bar. More trouble than it is worth.

I don't see why you would have any problem hard wiring the unit. I don't know how the extension plug is wired in but you shoul be able to make the hard wire connection.

There is no connection fora ground I would think you could run a cable from the frame to a chunk of re-bar in the ground.I have only had to use it for emergency's and did not have time to worry about a ground.

No. These lights are meant to hard wire directly. A cord can be attached to these easily if needed.

I hardwired mine. But you can put a duplex cord on it if you wish and I extended the up down cord. 5 ft is not long enough.

If by hard wire you mean screw terminals, yes. Low voltage output does not require conduit but good wiring practices are highly recommended.

I would never recommend installing anything over the top of an outlet. And I would think that hardwiring would negate any warranty.Mine is mounted above an outlet and the wiring is bundled to the side to minimize footprint and improve aesthetics.
