Does the mounting plate have to be used? Can you plug the curly cord directly into an outlet?

You must install the wall plate since the electric cord to connect the dryer is connected to the mounting plate

Dear Customer,You can plug the cord directly to the outlet. The hair dryer however clicks and locks in to place on to the wall base. If you do not mount the base it will be difficult to remove and place back the hair dryer onto the base.Sincerely,EWO

Dear Customer,This item does have a power cord that can be plugged directly into an outlet but it is meant to be used in a vertical position.Thanking you,EWO

I'm sure you could figure a way to mount it without the plate but why bother. @ screws for the mounting plate and then attach the unit to the plate makes a nice neat job. It plugs in no wiriing required

This unit can be mounted to the wall, and then plugged into an electrical outlet (which should be a GFCI). Yes, you can plug the "curly cord directly into an outlet."

Yes. The cord attaches at the bottom of the wall mount. A handy person could hard wire it easily.

Yes! The holder( sheet metal with screw holes, mounts on the wall with screws or tape. The electrical power is by a cord that you plug into an electric outlet. Was a simple install but follow the instructions to avoid having the plate upside down.

It plugs directly into an existing wall outlet. (Do not use the provided template for mounting.)

Yes, I believe I could adapt the unit so that it could be hard wired onto an in-wall receptacle. I say this without taking the unit apart, but if memory serves, the mounting plate would fit onto a standard receptacle, the only modification necessary would be to re-rout the wiring from a side entry to a rear entry, no big deal. Hope this helps.

The screw at the center of the plate is not necessary, it's just a way to secure the unit to the outlet it's plugged into. This may be helpful when you have all six outlets plugged in and you don't want to inadvertently pull the whole thing out by pulling one of the cords out.

It would be a very tight fit. Odds are if you're trying to run a cord through the wall you would have to use in-wall rated methods (i.e. set up a new outlet) to be code-compliant which would render this plate irrelevant.

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

There is a cord from the mounting plate that can be plugged into a wall outlet. There is an on and off switch on the front of the mounting plate. The cord will be partly hidden with the hardware included in the shipment. I bought 3 of these sconces and they are awesome. Hope this helps. Bianca

It doesn't come with a cord if that is where you were going, but yes if it's wired correctly, it can be plugged directly into an outlet. I would put a switch in somewhere so it's more controllable and the motor needs to be mounted.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it

You can cut the cord and hard wire it or you can mount it over an outlet. Fan works great!

Yes the mount plate should be grounded, thru mast, tower or if in or on a tree/fiberglass pole. use a ground wire to ground.

The instructions state: For use only with standard (duplex) receptacle having a center screw. Replaces existing wallplate. I believe what you are referring to is a standard Receptacle, just at 90 degrees. I see no reason why it would not work.

I don't. It's not like those less expensive round units. You don't want to run this on an extension cord unless the cord has large gauge wire. You will get better results if you can plug it in directly to an outlet.

Yes, That is exactly right... There is a phillips head/slotted screw that mounts the unit to the outlet.

I'm not an electrician but...I don't see why it would not be possible. The plate that attaches to the wall is plenty big enough to cover any box inside the wall, if you were to use one(advisable). The cord would need to be rerouted, of course, leaving a hole at the bottom of the plate. It could be filled using a dark brown caulk. An electrician could do it although some may not want to since it may not be Kosher. All that being said, this is a really nice lamp. Much better quality than I expected and worth a little more money than the light weight cheap stuff we usually get from across the Pacific pond.
