Great Video, Thanks! Installed the same box but 60A on my house. Used same holes for in and out too...
I did not like that cheap cap with that cheap seal for the top.
And that box is not water tight at all.
Is it possible for these to get wet during a hard rain and trip? We had heavy rain and ours tripped. At least that's what we think happened. Ours is a Square D.
What is the difference between a “spa kit” like this and a “ac disconnect box”? They seem very similar to me…thanks for the instruction!
an ac disconnect is more of a switch. A tech can cut the power to the unit by pulling out the bridge piece. A spa kit gives you a GFCI breaker so there is a measure of safety for the hot tub. The AC disconnect wouldn't trip like a breaker should there be a voltage spike or the hot tub heater short and put a current into the water. Hope that helps!
@@jofalltrades1816 definitely helps, thank you so much!
@@jofalltrades1816 couldn’t the GFCI breaker be at the main panel and you could use ac disconnect ? Seems like a waste because using the spa kit you still have to purchase a breaker for the panel.
@@regularjoe5055 in this case it is done to satisfy local electrical code. Most require an outdoor GFCI and that GFCI has to be a certain ditance from the tub. But depending on your local code, you certainly could have a GFCI in the panel. Save about $150 that way.
