HELP! Spas and Hot Tubs

[darcar]

The IRC Appendix G has me in a mobius LOOP!!!

I'm trying to address non permanently installed spas and hot tubs...

AG104.2 states portable spas and hot tubs shall be designed and constructed in conformance with ansi/nspi-6 as listed in Section AG108.

All Section AG108 does is list the standard and send you right back to AG104.2 !!!

I've tried doing an internet search for ansi/nspi-6 but all i find is code text

Anyone?...

Do a search with the ANSI standard and hot tub may answer your questions

Several ahj have guidelines and looks more about the manufacture build of the hot tub

What code cycle of IRC?

OK, now I'm not sure that I understand the problem. It tells you the standard and tells you to go to 108 that has a list of the standards. Those standards are for design and manufacturing so they must be labeled showing that they meet that standard. It is not an installation guide, the manufacturer's installation instructions do that along with all other applicable codes such as electrical, safety, etc.

I don't see a problem here with the way it is written. Basically if they are going to install one of those, it has to be listed and labeled as meeting the standard(s) applicably listed.

sorry 2012 IRC

FYI: In the 2015 IRC you won't have appendix G anymore. You will need to buy the pool and spa code, now referenced in replacement of the appendix. Perhaps pick up the book now as a reference and familiarize yourself with it. Maybe that will help.

The icc version???

Now that is what was required by me. The ICC version was the most important one. Appendix G is one confusing piece of information out there.

Well welcome

Come on in the waters hot

What state are you in?

darcar,

Did your AHJ specifically adopt the Appendices in the IRC ?..........If

not, then Appendix G cannot be used for a reference.
