how do you hook up this heater, what is necessary to buy to hook up?

I cut the female end off an extension cord (12Guage), wired it to the contacts on the heater and then just plugged it in.

do not use a extension cord! these heaters are hard wired and they need there own circuit.I have thirty five years in the electrical trade, but do what you think is wright.

You only need to attach it to the wall with two screws. As far as electrical you can make an extension cord or hard wire it if you want.

Our handyman mounted it on the surface but attached it to wires inside the wall, as you would wire in a light switch. It's a great little heater.

I had a certified electrician wire this and replace an older model from the 1950s. This isn't a plug-in model.

You should really have a plumber fix this for you. Is the tank supplying the house already? Is so, you would have to branch off the main line to make a heater connection.

1st did you check to make sure the size of the wire was sufficient to run the heater? I had to replace mine with a thicker wire. Perhaps you need to install a larger breaker.

you will need to get the OEM plug from best buy or some other store like amazon and wire your connections to that plug. I soldered the connections and put heat shrink tubing over them . There were about 15-20 wires.

Absolutely you need a small heater. I use a tiny electric heater that is thermostat controlled.

I bought this heater for my father in law in Ohio, I believe that he has it installed with an existing gas line with valve inside his cottage, just like hooking up a gas stove. It was a replacement for him. I think you should get the manual or call the vender.

DittoI tried to put a heater in and found the same problem - if anyone knows how I'd appreciate info too. Thank you!

This heater is designed to be hardwired, you cannot plug this heater in. Out of the box it is shipped to be recessed into a standard 2"X4" wall cavity. I believe there is a accessory piece that you purchase separately to surface mount this heater.

Must be purchased separately. You may also wish to connect a thermo switch to activate the heat cable automatically.

If you have the same heater that I have. I could open the side of it and look to see how its wired and possibly send you a picture or explain it later.

You should have two running from the panel to the box, and two from the box to the heater...Do you know if you have 220 or 110 power? OR are you saying you only have 2 wires in the box total??I need more info...

The hose comes with it. It screws into the propane tank. Plug it in, turn on the gas, hit the red button, and you got heat. All you need is a cresent wrench and a extension cord. They made the cord short so you can't burn it off accidentally.

Just what you see, the unit and humidistat. Transformer and saddle valve too. You need wire and copper tubing.

you would have to get a four prong plug that matches your outlet then, cut and re-wire the heater's original plug.

You should have it installed on its own deticated circuit. If your removing an older heater and replacing it with this one you should be fine installing it yourself.
