What side is the electrical hookup on? I'd like to get the slab made such that the wiring comes up from the ground.

Looking at our hot tub, when we get into it the electrical connections r on the lower backside. The controls to operate the tub are on our right. The highest cooling seat in the tub is at the front where we get in, controls on the right, electrical hookup at the backside. Hard to explain since it's a square and pretty uniform inside the tub!

Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate. The fixture is also meant to be fastened to an electrical wall-box via a bracket hidden behind the plate and fastened by two knurl-headed screws from the front of the plate through the provided screw-holes on the left and right sides. If you fashion a way to hold the fixture to the wall - perhaps simply two brass wood screws or toggle-bolts - and cut a notch in the edge of the plate to accept the raceway and cord, I don't see why that wouldn't work just fine. Note, though, that there is no switch on this fixture - the power needs to be controlled from elsewhere, like a wall switch or some such.

I returned this item (to complicated) and opted to install it in concrete. Contact mdooling@etsmiami.com and Maria will give you complete details. Tom

My guess would be there is a place in the buried area where the two wires are touching. For you to get that result

1st, i'm not an electician. i tried running it into the top was very difficult to get the "outlet" back in the box once wired cause the heavy gauge wire has to do a 180 turn in the box. I changed it to feed in from the bottom, wire the box 1st, tighten and re-tighten the wire connections several times cause they loosen, put the outlet in the box. Then you have the slack wire taken out of the box and then have it hooked up to the service panel.

We had to use wiring to strengthen the ties into the ground. That worked for us. Hope that helps.

My husband did it. The wiring was difficult because the conduit had been filled with putty..But it is done and works.

Well, no, the slab would be the floor (but you would have to anchor it with Tapcon concrete screws)

Photos sent to your email address. let me know if you have more questions. Remember, I am 'just' an end user / consumer-buyer, not the manufacturer. How I hooked mine up may be different than how you have to do it based on your joist configurements and all that.

Yeah, i had my wire cut, so i know. I would bury mine next time, but i would never advise anyone else to, since i'm not a pro. It's heavy duty, but i would get large outdoor rated electric conduit to run it through, w elbows to take it out of the ground on each end. Maybe more hassle than unplugging each time.

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

Sorry! Still didn't install yet! But I would say it's not grounded or wired properly!

The pictures do show it "right side up", grounding lugs should be at top for verticle installations. For horizontal installations, the neutral side of the outlet should be up. Don't remember for sure, but I think that this is a "recommendation" in the electrical code not a requirement. The norm has become to mount it with the ground lug down even though this is not the safe way to do it.

hardwired. If your a DIYer you can do it yourself. It is quite heavy so you need a ladder and a box to hold the weight and a ladder for yourself. Takes a while to install the crystals so put them on first. Good luck on the crystals, mine were really bad on some with definite flaws.

A ground wire can easily be connected to one of the screws on the side of the unit. That's how I installed mine and got great results.

I noticed that some folks suggested using PVC or at least a PVC adapting sleeve to complete the connection.THAT"S A NO-NO!All antennas, including satellite dishes, need to be grounded to drain off static electricity. The PVC insulates one part from the other, thereby breaking the ground path.You are running a ground wire, aren't you?

I know, it was very frustrating for me. I had to call an electrician to install it. As I recall, you leave all three of the wires that are already attached with those screw ends alone. You only use the two bare wires and the ground wire to your house wires. Green is usually the ground, but I don't remember in this particular case.
