Question: Hey guys. I just have a quick couple of questions:1) Under the section for #8 THHN, why is there just dashes going across instead of listing the numbers of #8's you can install in the conduit.2) The electrical supply is charging $147 for a combo GFCI/Disconnect for a hot tub which seems a little extreme. What do you guys think?3) What would you guys say the going rate would be to hook up this hot tub. It is just a 50a hot tub that is installed on a deck with a 120v light, not the fiberoptic one. Hot tub located about i would say 100' from panel. I know it's hard to say but just looking for a round about?
1) The dashes under section #8 THHN indicate that the number of #8 THHN conductors that can be installed in the conduit is not available in the table provided. This could be due to the fact that the conduit size is not suitable for the number of #8 THHN conductors that are typically installed together.2) $147 for a combo GFCI/Disconnect for a hot tub is on the high side. You may be able to find a similar product for less at a different electrical supply store or online retailer.3) The going rate to hook up a 50a hot tub that is installed on a deck with a 120v light, not the fiberoptic one, and is located about 100' from the panel would be around $500-$750. This price includes the cost of materials (wire, conduit, etc.) and labor. Flag for review
