    Spa disconnect
    Does the spa box count as the disconnect or does there need to be one somewhere else? I am building a 12'x12' gazebo and the spa box will be on the outside. The wiring is going to come up through the concrete in steel conduit. To add a disconnect somewhere else would put it somewhere in the yard.
    Thanks!

    Needs to be within sight off each other, many inspectors will rely on the commercial code and want it at the unit. Many new spas come with a disconnect built in. Having a disconnect closer allows the GFI to be closer for convenience, and does not detect the capacitance of a long cable run,which would cause nuisance tripping.

    Just cannot be closer than 5 feet to the tub.
