Gas/Electric Range

[NolaTigaBait]

Have a range that uses gas and electric...2.8 kw, 240, im running a 12/3 w ground to it...question is, since it isn't fastened in place, i need a means of disconnect at the unit....you guys think that i can just use a 50 amp range outlet and attachment cord for this application, or do they make a special setup for this?

Why not just use a 20Amp 240volt cord and receptacle?

I second the motion. A 50a recep will require a 6-4 SO cord. Will that even fit into the unit, and will the terminals accept #6 wire?

Assuming you need a neutral a NEMA 14-20R and a 14-20P would do it.

Or twist locks L14-20R and L14-20P

yeah, they would accept the wire...it has the same terminal block as a full size range would have

I'm surprised the unit does not come with a cord already installed.

 

[NolaTigaBait]

yeah, you would think...i mean it has a 1''ko for the wire....its from italy, so who knows...

Did you mean 12-3 romex or SO cord? I don't believe romex is allowed w/ a receptacle cap.

You could hard wire it with a 30A or 60A 240V non-fusible pull-out disconnect or a permanently installed breaker lock-out (if your AHJ allows it). Either of these choices would be less expensive than a receptacle & cap.

romex to the outlet and an so cord with the 20 amp attachment plug...
