Those two threads have to be in reference to the same job in New Jersey.

Code wording says yes. Common sence and real world application says no.

Code wording says yes. Common sence and real world application says no.

IMHO, the code wording does not require a hot tub installed inside to meet the requirements of 680.26 due to the fact that 680.43(D), in my opinion, modifies the requirement to use 680.26.
