If you wire the two leads to the heater from the two side terminals of the 4 prong plug you will get 240 volts that is needed.
I would just put a 240 volt breaker into the electrical box (30 amp should be enough) and mount another outlet near where you’ll mount the heater. Or, you can mount a wire directly to the heater and not use a plug.
