These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device. a range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 13⁄8” diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable. €¢ Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.
