UL is a private lab in the semi-cartelized US product safety ecosystem.
This Tool *breaks* what NEC requirements are trying to do, but it does not violate NEC. It does not allow or disallow plugging in products, that’s a different set of standards. The rest of the “cheap” suggestions in this thread however make me go “YEEE!” and run this even allowed by the NEC?” This product, though funny-looking, meets the (extensive) testing requirements of UL 1012 and thus I’m OK with it. IAAPSE, (I am a product safety engineer). User “Rudy” responds to concerns readers (and Cool Tool editors) have to the device: Before you jump to conclusions about the apparent dangers, and the seemingly high price, read the comments at Cool Tools. This looked dangerous and not likely UL-approved when I first looked at it. They also throw in an outlet tester because both 110V outlets must be wired correctly (not something you can assume in an old apartment) for the Quick 220 to work. And at $160.00 I was very happy with the price. All it took was the 110V outlet near the sleeve and an extension cord from another 110V outlet on a different circuit. Luckily, I found the Quick 220 Power Converter. My problem was that next to the sleeve was a 110V outlet but every AC that fit the sleeve required 220V.Īfter being quoted over $1000 to run 220V to the sleeve I was desperate to find another solution. I guess I should pay more attention to co-op board announcements.
When that old AC died about 3 years ago, I was told by the co-op board that the rules had changed and I had to use the sleeve. I ignored it and installed my window air conditioner. When I moved into my apartment I found it had a through-the-wall air conditioner sleeve.
