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???

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.

My way was, pulled #6 romex and from this connect plan on going with greenfield or MC 8awg THHN
To comply with code
