Extra long leveling legs for a stove?

Fridigaire

countertop is

Hi,

The manufactures for the -most part- do not make any.

Are the legs metal or plastic? If plastic, you will probably have to use some wood shims to raise up the range. If metal, I usually take one of the legs to local hardwars store and match up the thread count and bolt size and purchase 4 longer carriage style bolts and make my own longer legs. A small piece of felt glued to the carriage bolt head will protect the floor when moving the range.

That's what I'd do. All you need is two strips so the sides are properly supported and it can slide.

That's all you NEED, yes, but what you really want is to build a whole platform, with a secret door from the cabinet on the side, so's you can hide your egg-money there.

No problem. just get a couple of 1x4's long enough to hit the back wall and short enough that they don't extend past the front of the stove. If the 1x4 (3/4" high) isn't enough then add another piece of wood, plywood 1/4" or 1/2. If you need

You might consider putting "shoes" on the existing leveling screws to extend them.

The "shoes" can be PVC tubing with a cap (or just the cap.) Place washers, nuts, whatever in the cap/tube to give you the extension you need. If the extension "wiggles" pour in some drywall compound. If you want to remove it, you add water!

Like I said, only a two inch difference. It's not like it's up to my chest, lol! And from what I have seen of the class of '24, it 38" might become the standard soon. I'm only 5' 7.5", and 38" is actually quite ergonomic to me - I'm all torso. :o

Cawthon, Grace wrote: We needed to raise our stove 4 inches above the tile floor because the gas pipe was installed through the concrete slab and our plumber could only reduce the protrusion to 4 inches above the slab. So we purchased an 8 foot fir 6 x 4 at Home Depot and had HD cut it into 2 side rails and 1 front connector inserted and booed between the two side rails. We are both 5’8’. The stove went in perfectly, looks great and we find the height ergonomic. Yes, the counter top on the left is 4 inches lower, but it’s no problem. Amazon sells a set of silicone strips designed too fill the gap at counter level. (I designed this solution after a local handyman quoted us $700 to build a platform. Outrageous, but this is the west side of Los Angeles where our many home owners seem price indifferent. However, we don’t like to be ripped off.)

I am a custom cabinet maker the standard base height is 36 to 36.5 inches. I have built kitchen cabinets 38in. to top of counter but only when asked to, I made a platform 1.5 tall to put under there stove made from the same hard wood the cabinets were made from, it worked great. It was a tall family.
