Hello Code Question of the Day,
I'm installing a outdoor hot tub. How close or far away must the GFI be placed?

Answer:
Greetings Richard, based on the information in the question, the Code requires a 125-volt 15- or 20-ampere receptacle to be located not less than 6 feet from the inside walls of the pool or hot tub and not more than 20 feet from the inside walls of the pool or hot tub. See 680.42 and 680.22(A)(1). The receptacle is required to be GFCI protected in accordance with 680.22(A)(4).
