Section I. Installing a Junction Box during new pool construction.
A. THE FOLLOWING PREPARATORY STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE ELECTRICIAN BEFORE LIGHT IS INSTALLED;
SEE FIGURE 1.
1.
Ensure that the electrical system of your pool conforms with all requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and all
local codes and ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the Junction Box is installed. Some of the NEC requirements are listed below.
a.
The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
b.
The Junction Box must be located at least 8 inches above water level and 4 inches above ground level. The Junction Box
should also be located at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1.
c.
The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet of the pool must be properly electrically bonded.
d.
The Junction Box must be properly electrically bonded and grounded.
The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa Electrical Qualification Test Kit. The test kit is available
from Pentair Water Pool and Spa. The electrical system inspection using the above kit must be performed by trained and certified
personnel.
2.
To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the local
building department.
3.
Position Junction Box to meet National Electrical Code requirements and to prevent hazard to personnel.
4.
The center conduit hub is provided with a strain relief for a cord size up to a 10/3 AWG cord. Use underwater lights with water
resistant cord only.
5.
Three equipment grounding terminals are provided for internal grounding suitable for #16 AWG to #10 AWG wire.
One pressure wire grounding terminal is provided for a #8 AWG insulated copper bonding wire.
