Could call up your local electrical code inspector and ask.Hi guys. Thanks for the feedback. My assumption was there would be no issues with a junction box as well. However, I'm getting a quote from an electrician stating he'd need to run a new line from the panel. He's citing section 26-744 if the OntariobElwctrucal Safety Code... "Electrical heating and cooking appliances shall have only one point of connection for supply". I'm not sure a dryer would count as a heating appliance and not sure exactly what is means by 'one point if connection'. The electrician that's quoting this didn't seem sure at first if junction boxes were an option, which is why I'm seeking clarification here. Tks again
