Dear Confused in MA,
You might know this already but I see this as an opportunity to razz you. "Jacuzzi" is a brand name of products including tubs, basins camodes and bidets. So if you have a "Jacuzzi" bidet, you may or may not need a disconnect within sight.
Okay I feel better now.
I don't have a problem with installers using a cord/cap as a disconnect for a HMBT (Hydromassage bathtub) and having to open an access door to use it. This "disconnect" is for servicing the motor. This is not unlike the disconnect that might be located under the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
As for the faceless GFCI, this makes common sense but this would be optional. IMHO The words "within sight of it's equipment" are in the discription of Article 680 for the '02 NEC and in the '05 NEC the've added the words "readily accessible" and this may change the way this gets enforced.
Okay Bob- Your turn.
