Does it have to be direct wired? Or does it come with a cord that plugs into a 240 outlet? Thanks!

These are direct wired & need to be fastened to a wall - they are NOT portable.

It can be direct wired. It does not come with a cord, I installed mine with a cord I purchased at Lowes. You will need a 20 amp cord and a 20 amp receptacle. I bought an extension cord and cut one end off.

Yes. That were the case and problem I encountered. Either you have to hire an electrician to install the unit directly or to purchase a 240 V cord (from $20 to $40) and connect to outlet. There is a catch though. According to two techs from the company I spoke of the issue, if you install a cord by yourself, the warranty would be negated. That was the reason I returned the unit.

There are three wires two are to be hot and the third a copper ground the wires are to come into an electrical box behind the heater in the location of the wires wnen hooking up the wires it is best to leave the feeds about 10 inches long so there is room for connecting to the heater wires which will then be pushed into the box a little tricky operation but its ok....

Yes, it does need to be direct wired, but my electrician had it installed in no time. I love the comfort it provides, it has it's own internal thermostat and turns on and off based on where you set the dial. It's quiet and has been a delight, keeping my kitchen nice and warm. I live in the northeast and it has been a workhorse this winter!

I did not come with a cord. I bought my 15 amp 250 volt cord from Vet's Ace Hardware. If you do direct wire it, the NEC says it needs a service disconnecting means, (small switch within sight of appliance.) Also, remember, it should have a back plate or a noncombustible surface for mounting. I used and electric meter back plate that had a fire rating. It was the same size as heater and was reasonably priced.

Not without an adapter. It is wired for a standard U.S. outlet. It has a two-prong grounded plug (the kind where one prong is bigger than the other). Is that what you mean? Regarding the capacity to be wired for 240, I do not know. But that would be double the power of a wall outlet in the U.S., where 240 is used only for water heaters, stoves and clothes driers and has an outlet of a different shape and size.

No it does not come wired. It is designed to be hardwired but I used a strain relief coupler, cut the female end off of a heavy duty 10 foot extension cord and wired ti to the terminal strip of the fan unit.

it has no cord as it plugs directly into outlet. it has 2 connect screws for output. be careful and do not let outlet wires touch, as it will burn out a built-in fuse

You definitely have to wire this into your 240v circuit. No plug on this unit. Hope this helps.

I just plugged it into the 120 VAC outlet in my wall. It comes with a cord already attached, so no messing around with wires & wirenuts, which is nice. Of course, I had to install that outlet & outlet box because the disposal I replaced was powered by a piece of romex that came directly out of the wall through the hole cut for the sink drain pipe. Talk about builders taking short cuts!

Yes it comes wired for immediate use. As i recall it may have its own tranformer but the input voltage is 120V AC

Plugs in to regular outlet. It was great last summer. Colded the entire back of our apartment. I hadn't expected it to work so good. Absolutely no complaints and believe me if there were a complaint I'd voice it because I'm a complainer.

It comes with an adapter to plug into a 110v outlet. The cord is about 6' long. It is a must have piece.

It comes with no cord so you would have to either add a cord and plug or hard wire it with BX (flexible metal conduit) and appropriate wire. Due to the rated current I think number 10 wire is needed for either wiring method. I purchased a length of heavy duty 'cord' from I think Home Depot and installed an electric dryer plug (30 amp) to match the outlet in my shop.

We hard wired ours. I'm not sure what corded means, but ours is not plugged in, and I don't think it was made to be directly plugged in.

This model is met to be hard wired to a breaker and there is another model that is plugged intoa 240 This model is met to be hard wired to a breaker. Another model comes with a plug to be plugged into a wall plug, which makes it portable if you move. I'm sure you could add a plug to this model and it would work as long as the breaker before the plug is rated at 40 amps.

I have it so it will plug into an outlet that is switched. you would have to wire in your own switch as it does not come with one.

does this come with a power cord for a wall plug or doses unit need to hard wired in?

This unit comes with a power cord that simply plugs into an electrical outlet. No DC just AC 110v. The other end of cord is inserted into the unit itself. Sort of looks like a stereo jack

Direct wire for sure. I don't recall there also being a plug. Could there be 2 models?
