If you really mean Jacuzzi (Hydromassage tub), Art 680, Part VII. If you mean a Spa or Hot tub, it is Art 680, Part IV.

Take a look at the FPN that follows 680.26

680.74 does not require this.

be careful to also check you mfg. installation instructions. soke show it as a requirement, thus 110.3(B) applies.

Here is a quote from Don G (resqcapt19):

110.3(B) only requires compliance with instructions that are part of the listing and labeling.

true.....and perhaps I will one day be taken to task, but when I'm in the field inspecting and the mfg.s instructions call for someting in their installation instructions, especially of a safety nature, there will be compliance, or a whole bunch of written documentation as to why not, before I will approve the installation.

Those nice little illustrations under your name - is that reserved for moderators, or can we do the same?

I think only the moderators have the option
