If it does not come with a plug on it, no. If it is made for direct wire, then 99.9% chance is that it is a 240 volt unit. If you plug it into a 120 volt outlet your water will barely get warm.

How do you hook a 220 volt treadmill to a 110 volt wall socket?

A 220 volt treadmill will not run on 110 volt power. if you would wire it to plug in, the low voltage would causes the treadmill to burn up. You will need to install a 220 volt receptacle for it to plug into and work properly. <<>> In the above answer the treadmill will not burn up but at these amperages it will make a very big flash if it shorted out. Also it must be some treadmill to draw 220 amps and I have never seen a 110 amp wall socket.


Can you convert a 120 volt plug in into a plug to go in your cigar plug in a car?

You could if you have an inverter that can change 12 VDC to 120 VAC. Just plug it into the cigar lighter socket. On the back of the inverter there will be a 120 volt receptacle built into the inverter. Check the load of what you want to plug into it to ascertain that you purchase the correct size of inverter. <><><><><> Keep in mind that power is power, and a typical cigar lighter socket puts out about 72 watts. The inverter will only be able to do less than that.
