I’ve found that the cord that came with my Bullet R1 v1.5 is too short for my preferred installation. Can I safely replace the 2m cord with a 15 ft cord, with 14 awg wire, 250v/15A ratings, and the proper ends (NEMA 5-15P and IEC C13)?
I figure that will be a better option than an extension cord, which would require an additional connection point.
Looking for unofficial concurrence (NOT official approval) from @jacob, @jonas, or another Aillio person.
Thanks!
You’re right that 14awg is what comes on the unit, and it would probably be fine to make a 15 foot cord out of it, although it might get warm. What you have on a 20A circuit in a wall is 12awg. Since you’re running 15 feet, I’d be inclined to up-size the cord to 12 awg- to avoid the additional resistance a 14 awg wire would incur.
Any idea where I can get such an animal? Amazon comes up blank on 15 feet and 12 awg.
Actually, I could make do with 10-12 feet, but no joy there, either.
Here’s one 
Superior Electric EC123-15 15 Feet 12 AWG SJO 3 Wire 125 Volt NEMA 5-15P Electrical Cord https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T6M9YDM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HumyCbNE22E8M
There is nothing wrong using a longer cord, just make sure it has a high enough rating.
Well, sorta. That one lacks the IEC C13 plug on the roaster end. If I end up having to add that, myself, I think the overall package is considerable weaker - at least from a physical perspective. (Meaning that what I cobble together won’t be as physically robust as a properly terminated commercially made cord.)
Thanks, but that’s a NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R. IOW, a heavy duty extension cord. Permanently using extension cords on high draw appliances is frowned upon. I was looking for a 12 AWG NEMA5-15P to IEC C13, good for at least 125v, that would replace the cord provided by Aillio.
But Jacob has already said (essentially) that the 14 AWG that I originally suggested would be okay, so I’m set.
I have using a cord on 10 meter for many month now, its just works sooo good.
yeah, the 230V is not as sensitive as the 120V in the US.
I’m looking to do the same thing, how has the longer cord worked for you?
Took a while but I did find this one.
Great find! I swear I looked again just two weeks ago for something like this. Just did a search again while going through the thread, then saw your answer.
Looked back at my results and it shows at Sweetwater Music as well: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PWIECB10--daddario-planet-waves-iec-to-nema-plug-power-cable-10-feet
And hilarious…maybe I can get a discount if I buy a 10pk of D’Addario strings as well!
If you use the EJ16s, let me know.
