Hello from Canada, When we moved into our newer home we had no hood insert for the range. We have a blower in the attic. We found this insert broan RMIP 33 in our shed and want to install it. Problem is they require a rough in kit and at 120$ (Canadian and shipping) I wanted to make my own. Until I realised after buying everything that it is a male plug.*
How can I hard wire the thing for lights only (make plug). should I bring Romex through the panel into the existing plug and hard wire it there or make a outlet box on the insert?*
Help. I have attached many pictures including what they want me to buy (rough in kit)
The reason i do not want to buy the rough in is because it is used for power light and blower control. The blower installed is already controlled by a wall unit. The rough in wants a live wire from blower and a 120 wire from wall. I only have 120 from wall. So expensive for just power hook up. I have duct pieces already made. I opened up the unit and maybe can better explain what i hope to do. I want to remove 3 prong plug and hard wire it. What do i do with the other plug, it will be exposed to elements. Should i leave it or unwire it from inside. Weird how they positioned the plugs inside the unit instead of out.
