Install a Circuit for an Tanning BedĪpplication: Install a Tanning Bed Circuit.
Thanks for your electrical wiring question Matt. This electrical wiring question came from: Matt, a Homeowner from Ashland City, Tennessee. Does this sound correct? I also plan to replace the breaker with a new one of the same amperage just for peace of mind. I am thinking it should therefore be safe to wire a plug to the wire in the old thermostat box, leaving both red wires capped off.
The breakers in question are 20 amp breakers.I presume that the hot wire and the single red wire were both wired to the thermostat to make a complete circuit of the whole arrangement. One of the red wires is joined to the neutral wire with a wire nut, while the other is capped separately, as is the hot wire. The box where the thermostat was removed contains just one of the wires described along with two red (also apparently 12 gauge) wires entering the box from different directions. The wiring is the same 12-gauge black/white/green sheathed wire that I have encountered throughout my home’s 120v wiring (for reference, the ground wires are of a much lighter gauge).But it occurred to me that we still have this old heating wiring, and that each of the upstairs rooms, including the target room in this case, had had its own thermostat.
From what I understand this would normally mean that in order to go to the opposite end of the house from the electrical box I would need to run a new wire into the attic, staple it all the way around the perimeter, and then run from the wall header down the destination wall. Recently my wife wanted to get her own tanning bed, but the models we were looking at were specified by the manufacturer for use on a dedicated 20 amp breaker.The home already had an HVAC system when we purchased it in 2002, so in the course of our many renovations we turned off all the relevant breakers, removed the thermostats from the various rooms in the home, capping the wires with wire nuts, Covered each box with a basic wall plate. My home was built in 1965 and originally had what we were told was in-wall radiant heating.Using a 220 Volt Circuit for a Tanning BedĮlectrical Question: How do I wire a tanning bed for use on a dedicated 20 amp breaker?
