Hi,
I’m in the process of having a spa area built in my garden which will include the required liquid tight conduit path from one of the houses primary distribution panels and a local disconnect, built into a retaining wall. The build out of the spa area is 3 months behind and the Tub arrived this evening and was placed on a patio area whilst its final resting place is completed. Aa you can imagine everyone is itching to try the spa and so I’m considering a temporary hook up. I’ve come up with some different options for the 100ft cable run to the tubs current location and wanted to get some feedback.
option1 - 100ft of MC 6/3 copper in a PVC jacket run above ground around the perimeter of the house from the panel to the tub (my preferred option)
option2 - PVC conduit with #6 wires pulled, again run above ground around the perimeter of the house
option3 - Cable or conduit routed through the crawl space to the tub location (least preferred options as it requires cutting short term holes in the basement walls)
Both options would use a temporary disconnect attached to the wall ~6ft from the tub and 50amp GFI breaker in the destruction panel.
Suggestions and advise would be much appreciated
