    Using the same line for a central a/c unit and a potential hot tub
    I currently have a central a/c unit connected to a 220v 60amp breaker with a 60 amp disconnect pull within 2 feet of the a/c unit. Can I use the same disconnect to run a 2nd line to a future hot tub.

    No! Both devices require dedicated branch circuits.

    And the A/C circuit probably does not have a neutral which your tub will most likely need.

    Thanks, you confirmed my suspicion.

    And the hot tub will also likely require a GFCI circuit breaker...
