    Wiring an oven in the garage

    I have a Oven/Range combo in the shop that I will use for powder coating and warming up various things. It was originally a built in oven but I will use it free standing. I ran 1/2" EMT about 10 feet to where the oven will sit and mounted a 4x4 box. The oven/range has a 4 wire armored cable...
