Can you hard-wire this particular model without voiding the warranty? It will replace a Hardie Rain Dial 900 which only comes hard wired--no plug.

unsure .... I did it ..... but didn't check the paperwork. There may be a model variation for hardwiring. Ask manufacture on their site..

Not sure if it voids the warranty but they provide this as an option in the instructions so I wouldn't think so. You don't have to cut any wires. To remove the pre-connected plug from the unit, untwist the twist-on wire connectors from the plug and attach your wire conductors from your house. This connection is located behind a separate panel that needs to be removed for access. Fairly easy to do.

I have mine on a piece of heavy duty extension cord and plugged into an outlet. You can also hard wire it. It has 3/4 knockout's, i think. you can do either.

J. Hur, This will not be a problem. I have 3 different models connected to my hard wired/ plus battery system. A total of 6. Some with different sensitivity than others. Since they are all made by First Alert / BRK. I haven't had any problem with them for over 21 years now. Plus they all come with a wiring harmess pigtail, should you damage your old one . I have noticed some of the new replacment detectors have replaced the 9-volt battery with two AA . To be honest, I think it's better . I hope this helps you. Ronnie

Milton,I am no expert, but I am pretty sure it has to be hard wired. You might be thinking of some other type of an application. Maybe check with a local plumber or Ace Hardware personnel.

The way it is wired it is not possible to do this without rewiring the power within the unit. You would have to remote wire the power switch on the unit or bypass it which will void any warranty that is on the unit. Good Luck!

we just love ours and have not had a battery problem. I think I saw where you could hard wire it? call the company. they were very nice and helpful to me when I called them.

This is a 240 volt unit. It requires higher voltage wiring (can't just use a normal 110 volt plug in). It doesn't come with a "plug". It's intended to be hardwired from your household electrical breaker box directly to the unit, although a pigtail could be added for plugging in to a dryer style receptacle (for portability and quick disconnect purposes). An electrician is highly recommended...

You could void the warranty by misusing the tool, try a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar instead. If the ratchet gear system breaks it's not the tools fault and the company could deny replacement. Than it's all on you.

Yes, mine came with a standard plug in cord. It is possible to hard wire if you wish, but it does come with a standard plug in all ready attached. Very good units.

I had it installed and I don't think it had a plug. Pretty sure it had to be wired. I have it connected to a switch.

Must be hard wired by a professional. This is NOT a DIY project. Consult a Generac dealer and not a big box store because box stores know very little about this product. You will most likely buy the wrong size and switch if you do not consult a dealer.

The unit does need to be hard wired. A licensed electrician is highly recommended, and required in many jurisdictions.

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.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

If I remember right we hard wired ours in also, it wasn't a plug-in. Hope this helps.
