Default What AWG for 7.5kw - 36amp heater?

If you're running cable, you'll need 6\2g or if you're running conduit and
THHN you can use #8

Hello,

I would like to install a Dayton, ceiling mounted, electric heater in
my 2 1/2 car garage/woodshop.

The heater runs on 208 or 240volts - 36.5amps - 7,500watts and puts out
25,600BTUs.

What size awg wire would I need for this heater?

The wire will run from the main panel and hard wired to the heater.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Roy
