Is the electrical connection a stanard 3 prong plug? Or does it require wiring into a junction box?

It is recommended to wire direct with 10 gauge wire, with 30 amp breaker. If you were to wire a plug in pig tail for an outlet, it would most likely trip the standard 20 amp or 15 amp breaker. It would also decrease the heated water performance of the heater. This unit did not work well for me at my kitchen sink because even with the correct wire gauge and connections, it had to have the low flow restrictor on the fixture to just achieve luke warm water. I went to a 2 Gallon tank point of use heater. It works great with no flow restriction and gets very hot if you set the temp setting higher. It the Reliance brand.

It comes with no electrical connection. You will have to "wire it" a very simple process. I threw a three prong plug on it and it works great... well great for a small cheap water heater that has a very limited flow, great.

It is meant to be hard wired in to a ceiling fixture (e.g. with a junction box). It is not meant to plug into an electrical outlet.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection

Yes, the plug comes attached. No wiring required, it is usable directly out of the box. The is no on/off switch, but for my use, I plugged it I to a power strip with an on/off switch.

it comes with a little circuit box connect to it. That box has two wires to connect to 120v wires. I didn't see any issues to install it. Just cut a hole, connect the wires and insert it into that hole.

I wired mine using the existing 40-yr-old, 3-switch wall unit. I think any device that causes the electricity to be fed to the correct wires, when you want it fed there, will do.

Yes, I bought two and hard wired in junction boxes. I think it has to be hard wired - don't remember a plug.

It is a 110 v fixture. It must be wired into either a new or existing junction.

Yes of course, but I do not recommend it. Buyer with this problem should use a licensed electrician. I did it myself but did not have wiring problems I could not solve, like a junction box. Problem #2, this unit requires three switches, light, fan, and heater. Another item you need an intake pipe from the roof for clean air. I only delay was waiting for a replacement intake vent that had a flapper valve that was broken. Good luck, this unit works very well and replaces a 25 year unit.

This is the receiver only you need to purchase a wire harness separately They offer plug and go harness's that just t into your electrical system. Use your imagination as to where to put your plug or seek professional installer if you are not mechanically inclined

You need an electrical box - part of the unit sticks out the back so the box is needed to accept.

Yes, it is a two prong connection and works with my Beam wall outlet connection.

As I recall when I installed this unit replacing a similar design, the fan unit indeed has a 2 prong plug that plugs into a power receptacle plate that mounts on the side of unit and has 2 lead wires to tie into your existing wiring.

This unit does not come with a standard electrical plug. You must wire it directly to the circuit.

It doesn't have prongs. It looks exactly like a speakon connector. It is circular with a smaller circle connection inside.

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

The third wire (not black or white) is the ground wire and should be connected to the copper wire that should be in your junction box. If you don't have one coming out of the box, consult an electrician for safety.
