ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Cord connected spa?? Why not?

walrus/cpalm1,

We have a room in our addition built specifically for a spa. The room has tile floors. I ran THWN in liquidtight flex from the spa to a box in the wall. In the box, the THWN is wire-nutted to 6/4 NM. The circuit itself is protected by a 50 amp GFCI, 2-pole breaker.

I ran that because I couldn't use a cord and plug connection. Otherwise, I would've just used a marine-grade, weatherproof 50 amp cord and plug set.
