This is a short video of the wiring and installation of a 220 volt electric baseboard heater. Cadets premier hydronic baseboard line is recommended for nurseries and bedrooms, and for people with severe allergies. While Softheat offers everyone a comfortably warm room, it was specifically designed to reduce the effects of indoor allergens, compared to other heating systems. Additional benefits include lower operating and surface temperatures and whisper quiet operation. The Softheat hydronic baseboard uses circulating fluid (80% water and 20% Ethylene Glycol) to provide steady, uniform warmth with longer heat retention and minimal temperature variation. No plumbing necessary! Cadet recommends a wall-mounted thermostat for optimum performance, or you may prefer the convenience of an optional field mount thermostat kit (Left end wiring only). - Technical Information: Heater is constructed of 22 gauge steel for durability and powder coated for a quality finish. Baseboard heaters work best when placed under a window and at least 12 from furniture or other objects. Keep at least 12 minimum from objects hanging above (i.e., drapes). Heater may be placed directly on the floor and mounted to the wall. (Left end wiring only). - Ordering Information: SOFTHEAT EBHA heaters require a thermostat. For optimum comfort use a Cadet electronic thermostat or a dual diaphragm thermostat http://www.generation3electric.com

Aug 16, 2011 - We always power appliances with at least a 12 gauge 20 amp line. It is a safer way to do it. A 14-2 line would work without tripping a 15 amp breaker but I have see them go bad. I prefer to use the thicker gauge of the 12/2 for this type of application.

Dec 24, 2011 - what about if you had 2 heaters on one 20 amp ckt? With two different thermostats? Just feed each thermostat with the line? Or should they be on stand alone 2/pole ckts?

Dec 24, 2011 - You can have more then one heater on a circuit. We like to keep the number of heaters on a circuit low.Cost and panel space can be an issue. Ideally I would have one breaker one heater. Every splice is a point of failure. The thermostat has the line voltage coming into it. The load voltage(heat) is controlled by the thermostat.

Dec 24, 2011 - thank you...Yes i ran 2 circuits just in case. I have 2 heaters with 2 thermostats. But i would prefer just to have them on one circuit to save panel space. They will only need around 10 amps on a 20 amp circuit. So once the line hits the thermostat it gets transformed into a lower voltage to regulate the heat temperature? I can just splice the line at a Junction Box and hit the two lines of the thermostat in parallel and the loads will do their own thing?

Jan 12, 2012 - sorry, didnt realize this was another commercial, and not a actual 'how to video' Best of luck. I found what I was looking for.

Jan 19, 2012 - Hey this is a video blog. Some of the stuff is commercial. That's because the videos come from an actual business. If you have a specific questions I would be more than happy to help you get the answer.I'm glad to hear that you were able to find what you're looking for somewhere else.

Mar 25, 2012 - Remember (on some models) to leave at least 3/4" space between the heater and the finished floor to allow cold air from the FFL to be heated. Nice VID
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
