Hot Tub Electrical
I'd consider myself an above average DIYer. I've helped build three houses from the ground up with just 1-2 other guys. I however have always been hesitant on doing high voltage electrical (anything above 120v). I did a ton of research and made sure that I followed all required codes. Would just like some feedback for reassurance or to be told I'm completely wrong lol. I will be getting it inspected but want to verify before hand so I don't waste anyones time. ok, into the details. Hot Tub: Fantasy Spa Entice Electrical requirements: 230v 50amps Main Panel to Spa Disconnect panel: 75' run with 6awg THHN wire inside non metallic liquid tight conduit. Spa Disconnect: 50amp breaker Spa Panel to Spa: 32' run with 8awg THHN wire inside non metallic liquid tight conduit. Only thing not hooked up is the main panel. Ran the wire but still need to hook it up to the breaker. This is where I need advice. I plane to use the breaker spot that is intended for a range hood. currently there is a 60amp breaker there (we don't have a range hood. not sure why they ran a line and installed a breaker when we don't have one and the house never was built with one). I should be able to use the 60amp breaker since there is a 50amp breaker at the disconnect. Theoretically I would think. I've tried looking this up but can't find a straight answer if this will work and is possibly against code (Colorado for reference). Any input, positive or negative is welcome. submitted by /u/Dad-o-saurus [link] [comments]
