20 Most Recent Marley Electric Hydronic Baseboard Heater, 58" 240V/1250 Watts Questions & Answers

The Black Wires from the md26 are your load(the heater) and the red lines are your line(power). The lines are also paired up on the thermostat with a red and black on the left and are red and black on the right. In the actual heater connect the black to the black wire and the white to the white and connect the grounds. In the thermostat connect the black from the heater to left side black( remember there are pairs left(black, red) right (black, red) and the white to the right side black connect the black from your power to the left side red and the white from your power to the right side red. Should be ready to go.

There are so many questions. WHAT IS THE MODEL number of the unit that you are wiring The thermostat and the source voltage are two different things. What voltage are you wiring this to?

Hi,
If the room is well insulated a 6 foot heater will do, if it is not very well insulated then go with an 8 foot heater...

I think what you have is a 220 volt thermostat. That is why it isn`t making sense to you.

I need a control knob for my Marley electric wall heater model#fzl3004b

can't find a contrl knob for my marley wall heater model # fzl3004b

If they have been immersed in water then I would say that they are beyound repair now

You need to take a meter and see if you have 220 volts between the black and white. if you do have 220 then hook white wire to the red on the on the thermostat and the black to the black wire on the thermostat. on the other side of the thermostat hook the red and black to the red and black to the heater

Regardless of the wire which you intend to use for safety reasons it is best for you to use two different circuits. These equipment are heavy duty and often they could encounter little malfunctions which the circuit might not be able to support. Also it is best to use 2 circuits so in case there is ever a problem with the circuit it wont affect both units at the same time. Although running both on the single circuit will work but it is just not a safe thing to do as they are best separated.
thanks for using Fixya.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Not sure that would pass code. But, you may want to check with the local building inspections dept in your area, before doing it. The other down side will be, the heat will start 12" of the floor rather than floor level. As you are aware, heat rises, so that would mean the lower 12" to the floor is going to remain cold. Want feel very good on bare feet that just jumped out of bed.

Yes it is possible For a 240 volt unit to function on 110-120 . It just won't work very well. Thank you.

Two wires to the T-stat should go to W and C which is W for heat call and C represents common!
When the T-stat is set to heat it will connect the 24v red wire to the W terminal therfore sending 24v to the heater and the common wire completes that circuit. Make sure to use an inline fused wire to test so you do not blow your transformer. Easier to replace a fuse then a T-form

Hello I can't see the difference if you made the connection at the thermostat or your way.It should be good.

Using the equation I = P/E where "I" is Amps, "P" is Watts, and "E" is voltage, we find that your 5000w circuit will have an Amperage of 20.83. A 22 amp tstat will work, it will just leave you no room for surges. I would suggest splitting the baseboard and using 2 thermostats. Hope this helps

If you have power to the element and no amp draw , its bad,
