It's up to the inspector. But we are going to be changing our graphics so this is not an issue...

How does the 5 foot disconnect rule come into effect when a fountian has a 3 foot cord comming out of the base of the fountian?

Does 110.26 apply ?

When I have run into equipment being out of sight I have always put in a seperate panel with a shunt trip breaker that would activate from a big red panic button located in clear sight at the pool area. The Low voltage 12 to 24 V panic button would serve as an emergency shut off of all pool and spa equipment. I placed a clear plastic case around the button that you lift up to use, to prevent accidental contact and shuting down all the pool equipment. Maybe over kill to some but, I sleep better knowing I have done what Extra I could to protect people. Scott

In Mike Holt's comments to D.Green, he mentions a "horsepower rated" cord-and-plug connection. I am unfamiliar with this term. Is it clearly labeled differently than just the obvious ampacity rating of the conductors with a factory installed plug? Are there any suggestions of a website or manufacturer that I could find an example to compare. Thank you for your time.

Can you describe acceptable types of disconnects that are allowed. Specifically for exterior 220v hot tubs.

i observed almost instantainiously that it felt as though the disconect was obstructed by the pump and plumbing. Is'nt there a code violation in the illistration

As a builder of public pools and spas, I am assuming that this applies only to residential applications? Where can I find the Codes for my sort of installations. Electrical engineers have usually dealt with Code Conformance during the design phase. All I ever see is finished drawings and specs.

Thanks

I wonder does this apply a stand alone hot tub that is not part of a pool or built into a deck or structure as in "not permenantly installed"?

Just wondering if receptacle in picture meets code.

what happens if there is no structure within 5 ft of the pool- say the nearest structure and the pool equipment pad just outside the nearest accessory building with the electric and other utility feeds is 16 ft away

The example indicates a switch mechanism. Is the pump cord plug still considered a disconnect"

Is this from the 2005 or the 2008 NEC? This is going to have customers screaming and crying if it must be in sight. It would be better off if it was required to be lockable.
