I see it has no plug. Can I use a standard 120 plug (like a replacement cord) into a dedicated socket?

that would have to be answered by a qualified electrician , mine was hard wired direct to the panel box

The 800 is a 3 voltage humidifier, 120, 208, 240 volt. It ships wired at 240 volt. To operate at lower voltages it's necessary to change the jumpers. Not hard to do. It should have a disconnect switch for servicing, but it would be your call if you wanted to just plug it in. I used a two pole pilot lite switch

Yes it can be wired with a UF cable, 12ga with a heavy duty male three prong plug. Make sure the receptacle you are plugging into is rated for 20 amps. The unit is multiple voltage, so purchase your plugs coordinately. Personally I would hard wire to a fusible disconnect. But that's because I'm Pro. My advise is to have a qualified technician do it for you.

240 works much better. 120 with a plug cord cannot by electrical code be installed by an electrician. .only hard wired. If it came with a plug, he can plug it in. If it didn't, he only can hard wire it. 240 volt is available at the furnace, so he can use that to efficiently wire the humidifier. The 120 option won't boil the water quick enough to run long enough on the heat cycle unless you run the fan continuously after the heat has shut off. This unit works best by far on 240 volt.

I had it on a standard cord but it gave me service lights. Didn't boil water very well. I put it on a 208 circuit and it runs much better- so far.

I just plugged it in with no adapter, and it works fine. I'm sure you could use an adapter as well.

No, it needs to be plugged in as it comes standard. I have no idea if you can buy some kind of adapter.

We were replacing one that was 14 years old and had to rewire it. The plug on the new one is not the same as the old one. It was a simple re-wire though. We did not know of any adapter.

Well, we used just a standard outlet. What is funky about the plug you have?

This is a perfect replacement for the orginal cord. It plugs in to your 12v cigarette lighter / power socket. If you want to plug the cord into 110v, you will need to buy a power converter such as a Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter by Schumacher $17.54

I reread the description and don't know where you got that idea but there is a standard plug which you DO plug into a 120v standard outlet. I used them last year. Nice and bright and if its too long for your space, just double back once you get to the end.

Yes. The plug isn't a special kind. Mine is plugged in a regular outlet in my garage.

If you mean plug it in then no. If you mean the 240 thin instead of 120 that just means running two lines to it. My father did it for me and we just replaced an old one so the lines were already run.

I would just buy a cord from the store. The I sent mine back because the lighted part blew the first time I plugged it in rendering the thing useless.

Mine came with a regular three-pronged plug for a 110 volt outlet. I just plugged it into an existing standard socket.

I used no adapter. The plug should fit into your standard USA socket. There may be different requirement if you live in Europe.

You would have to get an inverter to have that work properly. It comes with an un-grounded, 2 prong plug that is meant for 120

There is no plug. You have to wire it yourself to a 12 volt system involving a power and ground also implementing a switch in the circuit.

It should come with a standard power plug. If not, you may need to send it back. Mine works great.

I am using it with 110 at the moment, it appears to have a convertible plug socket.

Nope! The plug is a normal one and you should be able to use it in any outlet.
