Conductors and overcurrent protection are sized at 125% of the heater load (CEC 8-104), so a 15 A 240 V circuit carries up to 2880 W of connected heat and a 20 A 240 V circuit up to 3840 W. Do not install a baseboard directly beneath a wall receptacle - a cord draped over the element is a fire risk and an inspection failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Mistakes to Avoid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrdering the standard OFM enclosure when the spec called for the ODL finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalling beneath a receptacle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssuming a premium enclosure changes the circuit sizing - it does not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Ouellet ODL1500CM CSA certified for use in Canada?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOuellet is a Quebec manufacturer and its heating products are built to Canadian standards and certified for the Canadian market. Confirm the certification mark and the ratings on the unit's own nameplate against your local amendments before you energize it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does Maple Electric Supply ship this from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom our own stock in Vaughan, Ontario. That means no cross-border wait, no duty and no surprise brokerage on a heater you need before the cold hits. Counter pickup is available, and we ship across Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 1500 \/ 1125 W rating on the ODL1500CM actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unit is dual-rated. On a 240 V supply it delivers 1500 W. Put the same unit on a 208 V supply and output drops to about 1125 W - roughly 75%, because output falls with the square of the voltage. Order on the voltage the building actually has, not the one on the drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size breaker and wire does the ODL1500CM need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unit draws about 6.2 A at 240 V. Fixed electric heat is a continuous load, so CEC 8-104 sizes the conductor and the breaker at 125% of that - about 7.8 A. Your electrician sizes the final circuit against everything else on it; a 15 A 240 V circuit tops out at 2880 W of total connected heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much heat is 1500 W in a real room?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5,120 \/ 3,840 BTU\/h. As a working rule of thumb for an insulated Ontario room, budget roughly 10 W per square foot for a well-insulated space and closer to 15 W per square foot for a basement, a room over a garage or anything with a lot of glass. Send us the dimensions and we will size it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ODL1500CM include a thermostat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - this is the base unit and it needs a control. You can either run a line-voltage wall thermostat, or order the equivalent part number with a factory-installed thermostat built in. We stock both, plus the Ouellet stats that suit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put this baseboard under a window with a receptacle above it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder the window, yes - that is the right place for it, because it counters the cold downdraft off the glass. Directly under a receptacle, no. A cord hanging down onto the element is a fire risk and it will fail inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much clearance does a baseboard heater need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the clearance stated on the nameplate to the floor, to carpet and to drapes. A baseboard works by drawing cool air in the bottom and pushing warm air out the top - block either and you lose output and risk nuisance tripping on the thermal cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cut a baseboard heater down to fit the wall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The element is a fixed length inside a fixed enclosure. Use a shorter part number, or run two smaller units, and size the circuit for the combined load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStocked in Canada by Maple Electric Supply.
