Hey guys, I am putting in a 240 volt forced air heater in the shop and what I want to do is wire the plug for it instead of a hard wire, it is a Cadet smaller 5000 watt forced air that I am putting a 30 amp cord on and then would like to wire a home run to the box through a thermostat and then to a plug that matches the cord on the heater, that gives me the ability to move about the shop, which is on about 400 SF.
Is is kosher to put the thermostat inline before the plug? it is a simple single pole line break bi metal T-stat, I can't think of anything that would become a problem, but figured I would check as I am not an electrician, I have done quite a bit of wiring over the years, but always like to double check.
Thanks.
