(1) Construction The enclosure shall be listed and labeled for the purpose and meet the following requirements: See related UL
(1)Equipped with threaded entries or hubs or a nonmetallic hub
(2)Comprised of copper, brass, suitable plastic, or other approved corrosion-resistant material
(3)Provided with an approved seal, such as duct seal at the conduit connection, that prevents circulation of air between the conduit and the enclosures
(4)Provided with electrical continuity between every connected metal conduit and the grounding terminals by means of copper, brass, or other approved corrosion-resistant metal that is integral with the box
(2) Installation
(a)Vertical Spacing. The enclosure shall be located not less than 100 mm (4 in.), measured from the inside of the bottom of the box, above the ground level, or pool deck, or not less than 200 mm (8 in.) above the maximum pool water level, whichever provides the greater elevation.
(b)Horizontal Spacing. The enclosure shall be located not less than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the inside wall of the pool, unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall, or other permanent barrier.
(C) Protection Junction boxes and enclosures mounted above the grade of the finished walkway around the pool shall not be located in the walkway unless afforded additional protection, such as by location under diving boards, adjacent to fixed structures, and the like.
(D) Grounding Terminals Junction boxes, transformer enclosures, and ground-fault circuit-interrupter enclosures connected to a conduit that extends directly to a forming shell or mounting bracket of a no-niche luminaire (fixture) shall be provided with a number of grounding terminals that shall be no fewer than one more than the number of conduit entries.
(E) Strain Relief The termination of a flexible cord of an underwater luminaire (lighting fixture) within a junction box, transformer enclosure, ground-fault circuit interrupter, or other enclosure shall be provided with a strain relief.
(F) Grounding The junction box, transformer enclosure, or other enclosure in the supply circuit to a wet-niche or no-niche luminaire (lighting fixture) and the field-wiring chamber of a dry-niche luminaire (lighting fixture) shall be grounded to the equipment grounding terminal of the panelboard. This terminal shall be directly connected to the panelboard enclosure. See related ROP
This follows under the NEC. I have attached the code Article. Depending on the Voltage of the fixture as you can see. See related ROP (A) Junction Boxes A junction box connected to a conduit that extends directly to a forming shell or mounting bracket of a no-niche luminaire (fixture) shall meet the requirements of this section. See related UL
(1) Construction The junction box shall be listed as a swimming pool junction box and shall comply with the following conditions: See related UL
(1)Be equipped with threaded entries or hubs or a nonmetallic hub Changed From 2002
•680.24(A)(1)(1) and (B)(1)(1): Revised to delete the text listed for the purpose'' associated with nonmetallic hubs.
(2)Be comprised of copper, brass, suitable plastic, or other approved corrosion-resistant material
(3)Be provided with electrical continuity between every connected metal conduit and the grounding terminals by means of copper, brass, or other approved corrosion-resistant metal that is integral with the box
(2) Installation Where the luminaire (fixture) operates over 15 volts, the junction box location shall comply with (A)(2)(a) and (A)(2)(b). Where the luminaire (fixture) operates at less than 15 volts, the junction box location shall be permitted to comply with (A)(2)(c). See related ROP
(a)Vertical Spacing. The junction box shall be located not less than 100 mm (4 in.), measured from the inside of the bottom of the box, above the ground level, or pool deck, or not less than 200 mm (8 in.) above the maximum pool water level, whichever provides the greater elevation.
(b)Horizontal Spacing. The junction box shall be located not less than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the inside wall of the pool, unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall, or other permanent barrier.
(c)Flush Deck Box. If used on a lighting system operating at 15 volts or less, a flush deck box shall be permitted if both of the following apply:
(1)An approved potting compound is used to fill the box to prevent the entrance of moisture.
(2)The flush deck box is located not less than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the inside wall of the pool.
(B) Other Enclosures An enclosure for a transformer, ground-fault circuit interrupter, or a similar device connected to a conduit that extends directly to a forming shell or mounting bracket of a no-niche luminaire (fixture) shall meet the requirements of this section. See related UL
