No electrical tape  [roll]

It's called that for a reason
Yup, but it's not legal, or safe, for 120v connections.

Long time listener, first time poster

I'm installing a one of these new fangled EPA approved wood stoves that has a cold air intake, blower, lightened flywheel, etc, etc

The damn fan is mounted on the back side and the stove sits partially in a bump out so actually turning on and adjusting the fan will result is full thickness burns over 30% of my body.

So the only course of action, as with all things is to take it apart and modify it.

So I've removed the blower motor control and I'm turning it into a wall mounted switch

My question is:

Will adding 6-8 feet of wire between the switch and the blower motor have any effect on the performance of the blower motor?

Experts and theorists please weigh in

You should use the 17 on the cats.

Works better than wire nuts.

This may seriously come to pass, I need a cat door and trapped behind the hot stove sounds like a fantastic solution

You people are no fun.... A fireman starting a fire via bad advice on the internet is how legends are made.

Classic!

Electrical tape is fine, but over the wire nut.

Before you throw it at the cat. Leaves less tell-tale marks.

That's like a belt and suspenders.
