My electric stove has always been wired direct from the cable. I was
told that code now requires an outlet and a pigtail on the range. The
romex cable has the 2 hot leads, a neutral and a bare ground wire. I
bought a surface mount 50 amp 3 prong outlet, but there is no place for
a ground wire to connect. For now, I bent the ground back on itself and
used the clamp to at least ground to the metal part of the outlet. Is
this ok or should I have just clipped it off? Thanks for any
expertise. John Mitchell
