2. Install the three-wire range conduit and
an appropriate strain relief clamp
through the hole in the junction box.
3. Use an appropriate insulated wire
connector to connect the red and black
wires from the range conduit to the
corresponding red and black leads from
the branch circuit.
4. Connect the green (ground) wire from
the range conduit to the white (neutral)
lead from the branch circuit in like
manner.
5. Secure the strain relief clamp around the
conduit and tighten the nut against the
wall of the junction box.
6. Tuck all wire leads into the junction box
and replace the access plate removed
earlier in step 1.
If local codes do not allow grounding
through the neutral, refer to the
illustration below of FOUR-WIRE
CONDUIT CONNECTION.

3. Use an appropriate insulated wire
connector to connect the red and black
wires from the range conduit to the
corresponding red and black leads from
the branch circuit.
4. Connect the green (ground) wire from
the range conduit to the grounding lead
from the branch circuit in like manner.
5. The white (neutral) lead from the branch
circuit must be properly insulated away
from all other leads.
6. Secure the strain relief clamp around the
conduit and tighten the nut against the
wall of the junction box.
7. Tuck all wire leads into the junction box
and replace the access plate removed
earlier in step 1.
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to
an electric range.
