Anyway, the receptable should be within 25' from the furnace not 20',
per 2003 codes. irc 1305.1.4.2 umc 309.0

An underfloor furnace on a slab is ok or suspended 6" above grade or PMI (Per Manufacturers Instructions).

So what you're saying is that there are actually two correct answers , since two of those items are not required.

Yeah.... that definitely could have been smoother.

Way to represent AZ Brian .
