Gfci Installation

(1/2) > >>

Ryan VSO:
Hi , could any of you tell me the reason we cant install the gfci breaker inside the cabinet ( between cabinet and shell ) .. I know theres a 10 feet rules but I would like to have a clear explanation on that is possible .

thanks

Tman122:
Our code reads within sight and a minimum of 10 feet from the tub. My guess is that this prevents dopey humans from reaching out while in the tub and flipping the breaker which could potentially put them in harms way.

Jacuzzi Jim:
 Ours is not closer than 5'  re-guarding putting it in the cabinet even if you could, I wouldn't want it there for a couple of reasons..

Ryan VSO:
Alright thanks

On the topic of CFGC install with the 230v out let can somebody Please tell me why is it ridiculously, absurdly expensive to have one installed by an electrician. My install last week was $800 which I was told by my dealer is a steal and that most guys charged about $1200-1400. That is just crazy,..1200 for 3 hrs of work.

Ok if the parts are about 400 then my labor cost was 400 for 3 hrs of work. And it's not really not that complicated or heavy manual labor. It's maybe a bit more entailed than say a Directv dish & cable installation but can they charge that kind of labor. I can think of more difficult, physically involved work than that but they don't quote that price.
