Installing Hot Tub Indoor

[jcvelasco]

I am involved in at hot tub installation that will be inside. The room is 10'X13' and the hot tub is 7.5' X 7.5'. The room will open out to the back yard with a garage door. Insulated glass panels and painted steel frame. The electrical inspector is saying that the customer cannot have the garage door opening into the room because of the metal track. The track will be within 5 feet of the hot tub. Does anyone know why the garage door is being disallowed. I think that a "bonding grid" would solve the issue and be permitted under the NEC 2014. What does everyone think?

If you solidly bond the track he should have no objections

I just noticed your profile more carefully. Are you doing this work and are you allowed to? If not, please seek an electrician.

Until then:

If I have misjudged the situation, if for example this project is related to your work, then send me a Private Message. If you can show me that I am wrong, and that you are a licensed electrician (or at least a licensed apprentice), then I will reopen your post, and offer an apology for the delay and inconvenience.
