Let's jump to the end - what the completed project looks like!
Looks like it came out of the factory like this!
Plenty of room for the Polar Mach 13,500 BTU model
Let's take a look at the project step-by-step in pictures
I always like to get wiring out of the way first...
The simplest way to get wire from the breaker box to the OnePlace area is to run it in the corner as pictured above, under the bathroom vanity/sink under the shower pan, then up the OnePlace center. This little bit of exposed wire is really not very obtrusive. The little bit of blue on the right side is plastic flex conduit - most of the wiring run is in this conduit to minimize any possibility of chafe issues down the road
This is the first place I started - a hole large enough to feed the flex conduit to under the bathroom vanity
Needed one more hole for the conduit to continue its route forward
You will have to disassemble the area under the sink to gain access like this
And under the shower pan. I need to find a stainless or aluminum grill replacement for the ferrous Winnie-supplied grill (notice the rust on the pan)
This is a good time to illustrate the conduit run under the bed
The new wire entering the rear of the box
There were a couple of knockouts left - this one (1/2") was the easiest to access
The new breaker installed
It is highly unlikely that Lowe's or Home Depot carry Cutler-Hammer products. You might need to call electrical parts distributors in your area to find a dealer
