Hello All,
I am being told by an inspector that a residential hot tub installation is not compliant with the line of sight requirement for the following reason:
The service compartment of the hot tub is on the opposite side of the tub from the disconnect. If a service person had his head in the compartment, he would be unable to see it. If he lifts his head (he would not even have to stand) he could clearly see the disconnect. It is complaint with the 5' rule from the inside wall of the tub (it's about 6' away). I told him (nicely) that I felt his argument was unreasonable and I would appeal. Can I get opinion(s) from the forum?
I appreciate the help
