[img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] 12-2 with ground will handle that heater. There will be NO neutral, the uninsulated wire in the bundle will tie directly to the case of the thermostat and then on to the case of the heater. #12 wire should be used with a 20 AMP breaker...max.
6.3 AMPs isn't much, 2.5 times 6.3 is still only 15.75 AMPs; you actually could run that heater on a 15A breaker. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: wiring baseboard heater
[img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] On 240V circuits, the red and the black are the power legs. That heater may have more than one element in it and those could be where the elements tie together red-red, black-black. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
