I need some help here folks. For the 4ooth time today I have encountered another AHJ that tells me a "Jaccuzi" bathtub pump equipment does not have to be bonded if the house is plumbed with PEX. Am I wrong in telling him he's ever so mistaken?
Every manufacturer's installation instructions, Jaccuzi, Royal, Kohler, et al. says the same thing - bond it. NEC 680.74 seems to me to say bond it.
I have seen contractors run the 8awg bonding jumper to a ground rod at the exterior in the presence of PEX.
Who's right? How should this be done?
Thanks,
Aaron
