    Stove wiring - maximum run length, can use junction box?
    Hi,
    I am moving kitchen from one part of house to other side.
    In the process, will be moving the stove.
    Naturally as per Murphys law, the panel is on the opposite side of the house and to connect the stove, I would have to run 50 to 60 ft of stove wire.

    Is there a maximum length you can run stove wire?
    If I could use the current stove wire and connect to it with a junction box in the basement, I could save some money on the wire, is this OK to do?
    What gauge of wire would I need to do this?
    Yes, the current setup is four wire, I didn't check the gauge of the wire.


    Any advise appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I don't know the answer, but it will help those who do if you can post the amps or watts the stove requires.

    Setting a junction box is fine. If the current wire is sized properly, run the same wire. Check the range for amperage, or check the breaker.
