sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire).
All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
The grounding wire may be bare.
A conduit connector must be installed at
junction box. Allow four feet of slack in the
line so dryer can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary.

insulated wires. Strip insulation back 1
inch. Shape the end of each wire into a
“U” shaped hook.
