Plugging Tire Warmers in standard house outlet?

I picked up some used tire warmers and wanted to test them out before hitting the track.
The owner had them laying around unused for about 7 years and could not remember if they worked fine, or got to a certain temperature and stop working.

They are chicken hawk pole position.

I assume they are about 1200 watts and since I have only plugged tire warmers in at the track, not sure if a standard 120 volt outlet is adequate enough, or if I will burn the house down testing lol.

Is there a recommended service for them ? or use until they stop working?

 

House outlet is more than adequate.

 

Thanks.

Let me go test these suckers out

 

Plug them into 220

 

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain . . .

 

Use them until they croak and then see if C.H. will let you trade them in towards a new set

 

220 or 221….whatever it takes

 

1200 watts at 120V is 10 amps; modern household outlets are either 15 or 20 amps.

A hair dryer is 1500w, so are most of the portable electric heaters.

 

It's all ball bearing nowadays.





Moe, you're good with house power. Test mine every season just that way.

 

Cool thanks.

 

Well played.
