I am wiring this steam shower and the name plate saids to have 8awg wire pull on a 60amp breaker, I am confused, how is this correct???
If any trouble seeing the name plate pic late me know on the comments, thanks everyone

The nameplate certainly skirts around the requirements of 110.14 or 334.80 and #8 NM certainly would not meet Code.

I supposed you could use a 90° conductor such as #8 THHN to a remote 90° termination point and then change over to a #6 NM.
 
Thank you, for the feed back,
My way was, pulled #6 romex and from this connect plan on going with greenfield or MC 8awg THHN
To comply with code
