How far must an emergency disconnect switch be located from spas and hot tubs for other than one-family dwellings?

3 feet
5 feet
7 feet
10 feet

The correct answer is: 5 feet

The requirement for the distance of an emergency disconnect switch from spas and hot tubs, particularly for other than one-family dwellings, is set at 5 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure safety and accessibility in emergency situations. The reason for this specific distance is to minimize the risk of accidental electrocution or injury to individuals who might be in or near the spa or hot tub while trying to access the disconnect switch in an emergency. Being within 5 feet allows for quick access without compromising safety, as it is far enough to prevent any electrical hazards that could arise from water splashes or moisture, which can significantly increase the risk of electrical shocks. By adhering to this regulation, electricians and contractors help ensure the safety of users while also complying with established electrical codes that prioritize safety around wet areas.
