equipment door to permit connection of a bonding wire between this
point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. The bonding wire must be at least

electrical authority to insure the installation conforms to local coun-
try/area state codes.
