JUNCTION BOX<br />
CONDUIT<br />
Hydrel fixtures are designed to meet 1990 National Electric Code, Article<br />
680 requirements. The N.E.C. requires that fixtures must be installed so<br />
that the fixture lens is at least 18" below normal water level. The junction<br />
box shall be located at least 8" above maximum water level, pool deck or<br />
ground, whichever is greater. The junction box shall be located not less<br />
than 4 feet from the perimeter of the pool, unless separated from the pool<br />
by a fence, wall or other permanent barrier. Junction boxes mounted<br />
above grade in the walkway around the pool shall be afforded additional<br />
protection by locating them in such places as under a diving board,<br />
adjacent to fixed structures, etc. Check local codes to assure acceptance.<br />
