How big is a freestanding gas range?#
A freestanding gas range is built to a 30-inch cabinet cutout, standing 36 to 47 inches tall to the top of the backguard and 25 to 29 inches deep. The table below compares the standard freestanding, slide-in, and apartment configurations.
Freestanding gas range dimensions by configuration#
| Configuration | Width (in) | Height with backguard (in) | Depth (in) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard freestanding (30-inch) | 30 | 36–47 | 25–29 | nearly every US kitchen |
| Slide-in (30-inch) | 30 | 36–37 | 25–28 | a built-in look between cabinets |
| Apartment range (20–24 inch) | 20–24 | 36 | 24–26 | small kitchens and rentals |

Installation clearances for a freestanding gas range#
- Cabinet cutout width: 30 in in of gap between the base cabinets a 30-inch gas range drops into.
- Counter-depth alignment: 25–29 in in deep so a gas range roughly aligns with a standard countertop face.
- Anti-tip bracket: Every freestanding gas range needs a floor anti-tip bracket bolted behind it, per the installation instructions.
- Rear gas and outlet: A gas range needs the shutoff valve and the electric outlet reachable at the back of the cutout.
Will your freestanding gas range fit? Clearances and door swing#
A gas range slots between two cabinets, so the cutout width is the number to match: standard and slide-in models need a 30-inch cabinet cutout, while an apartment range fits a narrower 20-to-24-inch gap. Its depth of 25 to 29 inches aligns with a standard counter run so the front sits flush. Measure the cabinet gap width, the counter depth, and the height to any overhead cabinet or hood — the backguard pushes the total to 36 to 47 inches. Confirm the gas supply, and for electric ignition an outlet, reach the recess. A slide-in trades the backguard for a lower, built-in look at 36 to 37 inches.

Freestanding gas range sizes by type: standard freestanding (30-inch), slide-in (30-inch), apartment range (20–24 inch)#
The three gas-range styles fit different kitchens. A standard freestanding gas range, 30 inches wide and 36 to 47 inches tall with its backguard, is the most common and drops between any 30-inch cabinet gap with finished sides. A slide-in, also 30 inches wide but only 36 to 37 inches tall, has unfinished sides and a lower profile for a custom, built-in look flush with the counter. An apartment range, 20 to 24 inches wide and 36 inches tall, fits a compact kitchen where a full 30-inch range will not. All three align to a 25-to-29-inch counter depth.
