Remodeling a Kitchen and Installing a Range Outlet
Electrical Question: What is the minimum wall depth and receptacle box type for a 240V line? Is it possible to build the cabinet with the 240V receptacle to the side of the range?
I am remodeling my kitchen and would like to relocate my free standing electric range from it’s location against the wall. I would like the new flush top electric range in a row of cabinet that divide the kitchen from the dining area. I am limited in counter depth. What is the minimum wall depth and receptacle box type for a 240V line? Is it possible to build the cabinet with the 240V receptacle to the side of the range?
