Default What kind of circuitry does this device need?

It's in the a powder room with a toilet and a sink. Still GFI?


No


And what about that 12 - 14 gauge issue?


I'm no expert, but my understanding it would be OK as long as the breaker
remains a 15 amp unit. BUT - that unit draws a lot of current. You are getting
close to the limit of a 15 amp circuit just with it. With 12 ga. wire, you will
probably get more heat out of it, depending on the wire length. After replacing
the 14 ga. wire to my bedroom with 12 ga. the heat from the 1500 watt heater in
the room increased a lot. (50-60 feet of wire)
