well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews and part 2 of fixing the 6000 watt shop heater I got from
princess Otto okay so for use that are want to get caught up to date you can watch part one
that link will be down in the description below but essentially the problem I had was the on and
off here stopped working and I showed how this didn't really have like any control at all you
know so what I ended up doing was I thought I could bypass it in the last video I showed
what I could bypass it but of course at the end there I told you I was going to make a phone call
and I talked to a buddy of mine and he said you know what that schematic showed exactly how it
was wired up but it doesn't get into detail of the thermostat switch itself whether there is a safety
device inside the thermostat switch itself so I thought okay this is what we're going to do we'll
just leave it alone put everything back the way it was and go with the thermostat guys it works like
a charm I'm gonna show you how this is all put together and use guys take a look and let me know
what you think well we'll start off raid at the plug there so what I did was this is my plug now
before you used to go around the window this way so I went around this way I got it all strapped
in there nice and here is the thermostat so I got one of these boxes and I got the two three
quarter-inch connectors on the bottom and it's screwed in the wall right here to a stud the thing
I like about this thermostat is it does have an off and I can just set it to whatever I want and
get here the heater go on there so there it is she's on right there everything works as
before as normal and I can come back here so it went on just below 70 and I can turn it off and
that's exactly what I wanted to do and then I took it all the way around to the back here and
made sure it was all fastened in Nice okay so I thought I'd answer some questions before I know
somebody's going to say okay Steve why didn't you just put like a regular on/off switch here
yes I could have gone with like a 30 amp switch on the wall here to turn it off and on and for
a lot of people that will be fine as well but take a look and see like I'm 5 foot 10 so this
is about 6 feet off the floor and the problem that I had was I'd have to turn this thermostat
on almost all the way to get it to come on at the right time because of course all the heat
rises and by the time it got down to where the thermostat would kick in you know what
it was getting pretty cool by then in the shop take a look at this level right here which the
instructions actually show how high to put it off the floor and this is exactly within
them recommendations and when you're wiring this I didn't show anybody how to wire this
specifically because the instructions are just dead on easy you've got two conductors that go
towards the heater and you got two conductors that go down to your power supply to red to black it's
very easy to follow along yes you have a ground wire in there and I just use nut connectors to
attach everything with I've been testing it out it works flawless the thermostat does work pretty
good to my temperature on the wall here so it's pretty close within a couple of degrees and for
me I'm happy because you know what now it goes off and on temperature here and that's my work
environment not up here so I think this is a great resolve and you know I hope you like this kind of
a setup I would say get an electrician follow the proper building codes in your area this is
how I did it I'm not telling anybody how to do yours but this was a perfect result for me and
I'd like to thank princess Otto for actually just giving me this to resolve my problem so
thanks for joining me here today and at the back here I'm gonna put some boxes like I always do
on the other videos that I have made in the past and one of them is going to be for the guy that
actually helped me out immensely on how to figure this out so thanks for joining me here today come
back again if you haven't seen this channel before well you're welcome to subscribe Cheers
you
