hard wire option? Can this kit be hard-wired?

My kitchen installers hard-wired it into the wall switch. Then they connected the other side of under cabinets lights (past a window break) and put the wire under the joint compound to hide it. Otherwise, I would have had to turn on 2 banks of lights switches to turn all my undercab. lighting on.

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.

I'm not sure but mine came with about a 4' 3 prong wire. So no I did not have to hardwire mine.

I do not see a way to hard wire these. They run through your home/apartment building AC wiring. So, if you live in an apartment building, and someone already has a set of these, you will be broadcasting.

Can be either. Does come with what you need to hardwire, should you wish to do so.

No it has to be hard wired. If you need it to be a plug in an electrician could convert it

Doesn't need to be hard wired. Just attach it with a couple of screws to something solid and nearby. Very handy item.

You can hard wire these, but that can cause a fire if the wires were ever to short-circuit. I would suggest putting a fuse in the circuit to prevent any problems.

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 you have an adapter you can. Otherwise, you will need to hard wire it. Hard wiring is always better in terms of speed of internet delivery if you can work it out easily.

It's pre wired for the four wire and it's not long. I don't know if you could hard wire to your five wire or not. I spiced into mine to make it longer but I'm still not happy. Plan to sell men on Craigslist or something. Wireless has too much interference and the monitor is way too small for this old timer. Good luck.

I assume that you want to hard-wire your power cord. I seem to remember some instructions on how to do that, that came with the unit. If you did not get that information, I'm sure Waste King would gladly email the instructions to you. Give that a try.

This is a hard wire unit. You must connect it to existing wiring or connect your own cord with plug.

No. Hard wired means direct wired -- not a plug in. You can access the wires though near an outlet to use but probably need an electrician to do it.

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

Since it has a power adapter, I would say you cannot hardwire the unit without some current adjustment mechanism. If it just had a simple plug at the end, then you could (I assume as a non-electrician).
