Yea,We have a dedicated circuit with a SSU mounted within 4 ft. of furnace and exposed wire must be in conduit or flex conduit to pass residential inspection.

The plug is so you can run the furnace off a generator? Seen a few here for that purpose.

It's alot nicer to flip a switch on the side of the furnace & have an outlet hot wired before the switch for your leadlight.Originally posted by Air Plus

Just wondering
Why do some people think a power cord is bad? I find it to be the safest way to kill power while working on furnace.
My stove and dryer have plugs. My 1000 watt microwave, something watt dishwasher and clothes washer have them too.
I do not understand, maybe an engineer will step in and explain this to me ... thanks.

I like the cord because when its unplugged you know fur sure the power is disconnected. Also there is a place to plug in other stuff.
The disadvantage is the ground can be cut off easily. Also someone can cut the cord off their vacuum cleaner and splice it in, see this all the time."And remember my sentimental friend......that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others" - Wizard of Oz.
