i'm a HUGE fan of duct tape, but you can find airtight metal fastener rings at the hardware store or hydro shopmy first fan came with some, my second didn't

i use tape either way

One to hot, one to neutral, the last to ground. Ground is optional. but unless double insulated system, use it.

oh shit, my bad. sorry, i was REALLY baked when i read that.

sounds like you need to get a plug from the electrical store or if they have it at the hardware store..

you'll have to put the wires into the pins and close the pins, then insert the pins into the plug.

Well hot and neutral isn't much a prob is mixed up. The ground will be.

The 'fat' blade on a plug is the neutral. the skinnier one is hot. the third/optional/round one is ground.

Its REALLLY SIMPLE. Just go to home depot and just buy a three pronged power cord in electrical and wire it to the fan by twisting the wires that match up in COLOR together.

just in case thats difficult..
you twist the green wire and the green wire together
then the white and the white together
then the black and the black
