| Jan 31, 2017 at 16:44 | comment | added | Rick | Harper, The cord I have is 10 AGW rated for 600v, water resistant rubber cased housing a black wire, a white wire and a green wire. The plug is a standard 14-30P which be used for 30 amp or 50 amp. I have a strain relief squeeze connector sized to the cord that fits the heater knockout. I choose to cord the unit so I did not have to go through the trouble of opening the wall to run wire to hard-wire. | |

And the second connection consisting of a blue control wire (unit has a built-in thermostat/control panel) and a black element wire where the instructions say you connect "L2/Neutral". | |

| Jan 26, 2017 at 18:23 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | The notion of tying red+black together shows how little you know about electrical, which is fine. Except, you're also using terms-of-art in a fairly precise manner, and you have created an unclear situation: You say the heater is 240V, and you say it has a hot and neutral, and you don't say it's European. These things contradict each other. | |

| Jan 25, 2017 at 23:47 | comment | added | Mark | Are you sure it requires a neutral? A 240 v heater should use 2 hot leads and a ground. | |
