I looked, found lots of information - but each case is different and none like mine.
Replacing a Standard range that has a three wire pig-tail (Red, Black, White). Have to move the electrical about 9 feet, which will cause a splice - not a problem. New wall oven is three wire with ground. Instructions recommend a ground, but state that ground can be tied to the nuetral (white). Have a copper cold water pipe located about six horizontal and six vertical feet away. This water line either comes through the slab or comes off a bathroom and runs through the wall to its location (water supply for refrigerator). I can cut the sheet rock away and make a ground connection. Then have to patch the sheetrock. Question - is it worth the effort to get a ground, or just connect the ground to the nuetral.
TIA
Michael
