Gas PipingQuestion 96 of 120
A gas range is connected with a listed appliance connector that runs 4 ft from the shutoff valve to the range. Which statement about this installation is correct?
a.It is not allowed; no connector may exceed 3 ft
b.It is allowed only if the connector passes through the cabinet wall behind the range
c.It is allowed only if a second connector is added to reach the valve
d.It is allowed, because ranges and clothes dryers may use connectors up to 6 ft long
Explanation
Most appliance connectors are limited to 3 ft, but ranges and clothes dryers are permitted connectors up to 6 ft, so a 4 ft connector is acceptable. Connectors may not pass through walls, floors, ceilings or partitions, and connectors may not be joined together or reused, which rules out the other choices.
