Home Improvement Asked by Greg Haskell on June 5, 2021
I am wanting to install a wall mounted household fan made by AEROWAY model VIVI . . . I have installed a junction box and am wondering if I can hardwire direct to household circuit with 20A breaker by simply bypassing the plug . . . I didn’t notice the plug was fused until I had already installed and pre-wired the junction box (and cut the required hole in wall etc.)
Greg in the states a UL listed device can not be modified this voids the listing. Removing the fused plug voids the UL listing for a 15 or 20 amp circuit, as a second code violation you said drilling a hole in the wall cordage is not allowed to pass through walls so I believe this would be a second failure point. There are fixtures both fans and lights designed to be hardwired theses usually require a junction box with a cord grip for the type of cord being used but removal of the fuse is not safe by itself.
