Range in garage

[eds]

Have a homeowner wanting to add a range in a residential garage, this would require a receptacle located below 18". Is this a concern for a residential garage?

lots of garages have fridges. I don't see how a range is any more dangerous.

Your having mentioned 18 inches makes me think you are concerned about the area possibly being classified as hazardous (i.e., the article 500 stuff). It's not. You have a garage, not a commercial garage.

thanks, that was my main concern

Don't forget a hood

Don't forget a hood

Is a hood required?

For the firing squad!

I always thought the hood was for their target, not for the squad. It certainly changes the odds.

Sounds like a Monty Python skit!

He might be referring to physical protection. Some towns in my area require protection or some covering for romex below 4 feet in a resi garage.

If you have a cook top, I believe it is. You would have to verify in the mechanical code.

OK checked that answer, if the stoves listing requires one you have to have it. Commercial it's required.

City people:roll:

OK, such things aren't as common here anymore as when I was a kid, but when more people used to can the fruits and vegetables they grow in their gardens, it was preferred to do so in a garage, basement, outbuilding, etc. instead of bringing all the mess into the house, heating up the entire house because of this activity, etc. Oh, yeah it is always late July through August - the hottest times of the year when most of this stuff is ready to be processed.

Hmmm, we did some fire alarm work for a nice Italian family that owned a rental duplex. They had a whole second kitchen in the basement (Paterson NJ). Come to find out from asking around that this was very common in the area. That big Sunday dinner needed two kitchens to get done, what with 20 folks coming over.

Growing up, we had a second range in the basement. The house had no garage or it very likely would have been there.

They always ask the condemned man if he wants a blind fold not a hood.

I think hoods are more for hangings.

MY last request when I go before the firing squad will be for one of those dragon scale bullet proof vest.

For the squad, right?
