Today the one I saw pre, pre, not prewired, pre
tubed also had 110v going to each receptacle.
What's the deal there? Now I've got to call
Larry to wire each one of these?
What you saw (with the electrical wiring at the outlet) was probably a Hayden SuperSystem. That system has both high voltage (120) and low voltage (24) running through the hose. The high voltage runs the beater brush and the low voltage triggers the unit.
And yes, the electrician must connect the wiring (generally).
Reminds me of a nice story.....
One of our local "village idiots" ran one of these systems for a builder I know (who thought he'd save a buck by using the VI), only to cause the electrical inspector to turn down the entire house wiring. Seems the VI had used high powered outlets with 14ga wiring, and had connected them to electrical outlet that had 12ga wiring.
Yes, the "system" had to be completely redone. The builder fired the local VI, and paid me to fix it. Very, very expensive lesson....
