Junction Box for small Range

Yes, if there is external cable clamps, No if there are internal clamps. 2017 NEC table 314.16 (A) allows 7- #8 conductors. Red, white and black coming in; red, white and black going out; plus one total for the equipment grounds. Total of 7 - #8 conductors allowed in the 21 cubic inch metal box.

Hmm, see NEC 314.24(B)(3) please and see if that changes your answer.
 
Did you change the question? I would have sworn that the original question asked about the size of the junction box required to extend the circuit a short distance. If i read it wrong (maybe, LOL) then yes, a deeper box is required. Would a raised cover or plaster ring suffice, hmmmm? 314.24 (B)-yes, a plaster ring could work, if its deep enough.

LOL, sorry. Yes I had to clarify the question. What I meant is how it is written now. I see how my previous wording was not written very well to articulate what I meant.

can I use a 4x4x1-1/2" deep junction box to mount the range plug if the box is properly installed and grounded?

314.24 (b)(3) Conductors 8, 6 and 4 AWG- Not less than a 2-1/16" box. Is this what you were wanting us to see?
