    pulling 8-3 romex

    I am also guessing that the electric range in question only requires a 40 amp circuit? What is the kW rating? You can't make that pull. That is a stupid, illegal and unsafe idea. You should not even try to make that pull but please videotape the attempt so we can all have a good laugh just...

    1) Every dry vent connecting to a horizontal drain shall connect above the centerline of the horizontal drain pipe 2) PVC DWV must be horizontally supported every 48" That should get you started

    Ducane vent termination

    4' to the window or gas meter would be the answer. This does not comply with the manufacturer's requirements or the fuel gas code

    Ducane 90% with the combustion air taken from inside and not piped from the exterior. Does the manufacturer's installation instructions prohibit this installation?

    Crimping ground wires in an outlet box
