Speedy Jim,

Yes, the black lead loops to the other end, so either end could be used for the hot
lead. I did check Marley's website and they do have a thermostat kit that can be
integrated into the heater case. The wiring diagram seems fairly straighforward,
or should I call in a professional, it being 240V?

Thanks!
Scott

Follow the directions and you should be OK.
Verify that the replacement heater is actually rated for 240V
(you probably already did this).

BTW, if the circuit feeding this is 240V, the Wh wire
should be taped (or otherwise) to appear Black.
And the breaker should be a 2-pole (common trip) unit.

I bought an 8' Marley Electric Baseboard Heater to replace the old one in our
family room. The new heater has a single black wire plus a copper ground
wire. However, the old one was wired with a black and white wire, plus a
ground. They're both the same type of heater. Which wire coming out of
the wall should I use....the white or the black?

Thanks!
Scott

I'll bet there is another conductor (Blk) at the
opposite end. If fed from one end, this conductor
has to be looped back to the opposite end.

Marley probably has a thermostat kit to be added to one end.

You may however be in over your head on this one.
Don't take a chance.
