Is a 15 amp dedicated line to gas stove allowed ?

[howardrichman]

I'm installing an outlet for a gas convection oven/stove top, and above is a 1200 cfm cooking ventilation hood. Both specs call for a dedicated 15 amp line for each appliance load. According to 210.52b(1+2), these outlets must be wired in a 20 amp counter circuit. Id'e rather just run a 14-3 to these two outlets, just as if I was wiring a refrigerator in the exception giving a choice of a 20 amp counter circuit, or a dedicated 15 amp circuit. Can I install two dedicated 15 amp lines to these two not easily accessible outlets in the kitchen?

210.52(B) Small Appliances.
(1) Receptacle Outlets Served. In the kitchen, pantry,
breakfast room, dining room, or similar area of a dwelling
unit, the two or more 20-ampere small-appliance branch
circuits required by 210.11(C)(1) shall serve all wall and
floor receptacle outlets covered by 210.52(A), all counter-
top outlets covered by 210.52(C), and receptacle outlets for
refrigeration equipment.

Do either of your outlets fall under 210.52(A) or (C)?

It doesn't sound like they are "Floor" or "Countertop" outlets.

Well; but The code also specifies all wall outlets, so I guess there's no exception for the stove outlet, but wil allow a dedicated 15 amp line to the frig. The custom hood will also need an outlet above in a cabnet, and I guess this would also apply to a microwave outlet in an above cabnet Most require a 20A line anyways.

The wall space behind the stove does not count as the wall space for required SABC/wall receptacles IMO.

The hood receptacle in the cabinet definetly is not part of the required SABC receptacle.

The code specifies "wall outlets covered by 210.52" which the outlet for the stove is not. A wall outlet for the stove isn't even technically required because you could be installing an in-counter cooktop.

yes, That makes sense, it could be seen as another appliance and not a wall outlet. Wiring the stove plug into the 20 amp counter circuit IS the
exception if need be.
