Broan HCK44 Power Cord Kit on individual display card



Correct Item, little too short
The item is a installable cord for items such as a range hood. Installation is a snap. I couldn't find the cord length in any of the descriptions, so I bought it on a gamble.

It is a 3' cord. I had hoped for a 6' one, but I can make due.

Extremely handy item
This is an extremely handy item, and we were so glad to find it available. My elderly mother lives in an older home. When her Broan exhaust hood went out and had to be replaced everything on the market had to be hard-wired. This meant an electrician had to come in and a lot of expensive wiring if it could be done at all with her limited electrical resources. With this kit we were able to easily convert the new hood back to a plug-in just like her older one for just the cost of the kit and shipping, a total of $15.50--far less than hard wiring would have been. My husband has little electrical experience but was easily able to convert the cord with the instructions that came. The exhaust hood worked properly the first time we plugged it up and tried it.

Works
I bought this to fit a broan range hood for my kitchen. I had the electrician put in a plug when I redid my kitchen, thinking I would put in a microwave with a plug. I didn't end up having space and needed to put a regular range hood so this came in handy so that I could easily convert a regular broan hood and plug it in to a wall socket rather than use a regular junction box in the wall. Worked great and very easy to attach.
