Range Power Cord: 4-Prong vs 3-Prong (UL Listed)

A range power cord connects your electric range, oven or cooktop to the wall outlet. Range cords carry 50 amps at 125/250V and must be UL Listed for safety in the United States. Choose 4-prong for newer homes or 3-prong for older construction.

4-Prong vs 3-Prong Range Cord: Which One Do You Need?

The prong count depends on your outlet and home build year:

TypeNEMA ModelOutlet ShapeWhere Used
4-Prong (2 hot + neutral + ground)14-50P4-slot outletNewer homes (after 1996 NEC code)
3-Prong (2 hot + neutral)10-50P3-slot outletOlder homes built before 1996

Tip: If your range has a 4-prong plug but your outlet is 3-slot, you need a 4-prong to 3-prong adapter. We supply both configurations.
