• KNOW YOUR VOLTAGE and CHECK YOUR BREAKER!
• All baseboards require three supply wires. For 120 volt baseboard wiring you will have 1 hot, 1
neutral and 1 ground. For 240 volt baseboard wiring you will have 2 hots and 1 ground; no neutral
needed.

1. Multiple baseboard hook-up can be done with
a wall thermostat. Two sets of electrical supply
wires go through the strain relief connector
of baseboard #1. One set of wires goes to
the wall thermostat and the other set goes to
baseboard #2.
2. There are two supply ground wires. You’ll need
another small piece of copper wire to make
the 3-wire connection with the ground screw in
baseboard #1.
3. For baseboard #1, connect each of the cut
baseboard leads to one of the supply wires
going to the thermostat, and one of the supply
wires going to the other baseboard. They both
must have a 3-wire connection.
4. For baseboard #2, make the connections in
the wiring compartment exactly as shown in
7b or 8b above.
MULTIPLE BASEBOARD WIRING 240V SUPPLY ONLY

1. Connect one supply wire to one of the heater
wires that was just cut, it doesn’t matter which
one.

heater wire.
3. Screw the wiring compartment cover back on.
