Question:
Though the installation passed the rough inspection, it was requested that the outlet for the gas range be lowered. Can't find a code reference for the height of a gas range receptacle. Is there a code requirement or is there some other reason to install a gas range outlet low to the floor?

Answer:
Hey Steve thanks for your question. The NEC does not have a specific height dimension for a gas range receptacle outlet. It is possible the reason to lower it was to allow the receptacle to be to be located in a recessed area of the range.
