Cord Connected Splice in Appliance

[zzzzt]

I have a cord-connected range hood that is made for an island. I installed a receptacle in the attic for it but of course the cord is 10 inches too short.

In looming for a fix I considered the best option would be a 2 foot long extension cord, but that’s not code. I considered replacing the cord with a longer one, but the manufacturer has sealed it. So, a splice?

I asked my inspector. He says I should use a rack-a-tiers open splice box in the chase.

Is this a good solution? Got a better one?

Thanks!

Extend the receptacle circuit with a new box and receptacle that is closer?

This is what I would do. Typically those hoods have a removable shroud that allows access to a receptacle inside.

What is an open splice box?
