Hi, I purchased a new hot tub (still hasn't arrived) and am probably doing the wiring myself. My "qualifications" are - my father was a lifelong electrician before passing away a couple of years ago. I spent many summers (and a few years) working with him and helped wire several hot tubs. The problem is that this was maybe 20 years ago and I've forgotten some things. Here are my questions:
I'm going to run 8-3 (with ground) romex from basement panel across storage room ceiling to the side of my house and then will need to run about 15 feet of conduit down the outside to around corner of back of house where disconnect and tub will be. What I can't remember is what I do at the exit point of the house. Do I put a junction box outside and connect the romex to #8 single strand wires that will run in the conduit? I assume I won't want to try to pull the romex through the pipe? Also, can I use plastic pvc or should it be metal?
Thanks
