Tom, we are now talking about apples and oranges. There are no requirements for the installation if it is hardwired but only where a receptacle is installed do you have requirements. IF a receptacle is installed, then the homeowner is likely to replace the equipment and rules are required. You are not required to install a receptacle so nothing has changed; however, if you install a receptacle, these are the rules. I fail to see the problem with this, you have a choice. [Linked Image]
