Globrite Light Fixture Installation (New Pool Construction Usa); Before Starting - Pentair GLOBRITE Manual Del Usuario

GLOBRITE™ LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION
There are three types of GloBrite White Light niches for pool or spa: Concrete/gunite (see
page 5), fiberglass (see page 6) or vinyl liner (see pag 10).
BEFORE STARTING: The following information describes the tasks that
must be completed by the electrician before the light fixture is installed.
See Figure 2 on page 7.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical
Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed or
certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the requirements of the
National Electrical Code which the pool's electrical system must meet are as follows:
• The Junction Box and the low voltage transformer is located at least
4 (four) inches (10.16 cm) above ground level or eight (8) inches
(20.3 cm) above maximum water level, whichever is higher. The Junction Box
must be at least 48 inches (1.22 m) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 2 on
page 7.
• For non-metallic conduit, a No. 8 AWG bonding/grounding wire must be
installed through the conduit from the Junction Box to the bonding/grounding
lug inside the niche. Seal the wire/lug connection with a listed sealant to protect
the connection from possible pool water corrosion. See Figure 2 on page 7.
• The GloBrite light niche must be properly installed so that the top edge of the
lens of the GloBrite light is at least 4 inches below (not more than 48 inches
below in Canada) the surface of the water in the pool or spa. See Figure 2 on
page 7.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.
