This is the box that I's getting, it's12 inches high. and quite wide also., Should be plenty of room to move around the #6 wire.

Update: Been a change of plans over night. Last night I found a guy in upstate NY selling a Cutler-hammer CH50SPA 125 amp sub panel electrical breaker box with 50amp GFCI breaker for $50.00............I offered $60 for him to send it to me, he agreed. I can resell the 50 amp GFCI breaker also. So this morning I called Eaton's Tech phone number and asked are those boxes interchangeable with their GFCI Breakers. The person on the phone said the bus bars in the boxes are rated from 30amps to 70 amp breakers. So I got the box for $60 and bought the 60 amp GFCI on Amazon for $200....so all in on the box for $260. I guess it could be worse, but I'm much happier have the GFCI located on the side of my house about 10 ft from hot tub and the regular 60 amp from Ace Hardware for $15.00 https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lighting-and-electrical/circuit-breakers-fuses-and-panels/circuit-breakers/31493 Eaton/ Cutler Hammer Ch260gf 2 pole 60 amp gfi/gfci for ch series panel only from Amazon.

One other question, do you know if the CH Spa boxes are interchangeable with the GFCI Breakers? Will a Ch260 GFCI fit in a CH250spa Box(older model box) and work correctly? If you ever seen a CH Spa Box, the inside decal sticker shows CH30Amp,CH40 Amp, Ch50amp, CH60amp at the top, like a generic sticker on all their boxes, thinking maybe you can change breakers in box to whatever you need? Does anyone know anything about that?

Just found this 60 amp GFCI BOX Square D, but says 4 circuits, not sure if I could use this one or not, if so could I use this 60 amp breaker in my inside electric panel with it?? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-QO-60-Amp-2-Space-4-Circuit-Spa-Panel-Main-Lug-Load-Center-QOE260GFINM/312035158?MERCH=REC-_-searchViewed-_-NA-_-312035158-_-N#overlay, Ratings kind of suck for the Square D Box Not sure this is a good option or not, al ot pf people on Home Depot are complaining about it in their reviews https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lighting-and-electrical/circuit-breakers-fuses-and-panels/circuit-breakers/31493?x429=true&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnoqLBhD4ARIsAL5JedJCHB1G4bGWXW9VXJHpya4wlFLM5eARN1wydg66hi8JsJ0AJlLhKbAaAl0REALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&irclickid=TbZQYWxWTxyIT%3AMw-8w92znqUkBX7t2rk1RlQo0&irgwc=1&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_source=Impact&utm_campaign=10078&utm_keyword=611504

Any pictures, would love to see it,

Maybe this should help figure out the correct 60amp GFCI breaker will fit in my panel if I have to go that route. Can everyone see it clear enough to point me in the right direction to get the correct breaker?

Show me which pairing will work with my electric panel( send me links please) .60 amp breaker with my current electric panel that will fit and which 60amp breaker box with GFIC that will work? Please send me links. So far I just got done installing wire in hot tub, and dug trench and put wire in up to the side of the house, currently wire is sticking up out of the ground next to wall of house.... Edit: I can return the Eaton Disconnect Box still, I have not opened it yet I'm kind of working backwards, from hot tub to electric panel. See no reason that it makes a difference?

To late now on the wire, just got back from purchasing a 2 wire plus ground 6/2 UF wire, Going to go with that since the spa dealer keeps saying the common wire is not needed. No one had a 60amp GFCI breaker( went to Lowes and two Electric shops, so I still have to order that online. Just have to make sure it will fit my electric panel in the house.. @cranbiz I will see if Mr Supply has that breaker in stock...called there before for the spa pack(breaker with GFCI in the box, and they didn't have it even though their site said they did. Bought this Disconnect Box for outside of house from Lowes, get's good ratings, non-fuseable. I believe it is the correct one for my usage. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Eaton-60-Amp-2-Pole-Non-Fusible-Enclosed-Molded-Case-Switch-Disconnect/1114583 Repeat: Can't find a spa box 60amp GFCI anywhere to put the GFCI down stream on the outside of house because NO ONE ANYWHERE has one. Impossible to find, even 50 amps are hard to find, 60amp ones are worse. Believe me I rather go that way, but I have no choice.

Completely understand, we didn't buy one with the Tv or Bluetooth Audio System. that would have been an additional cost We know we are taking a chance buying online, but we were not interested in buying a brand new hot tub from dealers around here when the prices were crazy high and the hot tub was a piece crap with only like 25 jets.........Might as well just buy a large bath tub. Actually when we bought back in April, the cost of the hot tub was $700 less then it is now. Time will tell if we got a good deal or not, really looks well built. Many of the parts are sourced out of the USA. So don't think parts will be a problem. If there is a problem during the warranty time, they send out a spa technician from a local spa repair company. Buying a spa during Covid is not easy, supply is terrible and when you do order one, wait times are really long. All there hot tubs come in on ships into California, and then transported all over the US. When mine came they had 2 other tubs for delivery in my area also. Most times when reading reviews you only read the bad ones because people with no issues don't bother to ever make a review. So sometimes the review information you find on the internet can be misleading.

Okay then I guess I will just bury the 6/2 romex wire with no covering. Dealer says no neutral needed on their hot tubs. Should I then buy Thnn wire to go from electric panel inside to outside to disconnect box to the ground, would need about 6 ft. of pvc pipe or is 6/2 romex okay for that short about of romex incased in pvc pipe okay? I got these directions from the spa dealer: "Your spa needs to be hard wired with 220V wiring. The wire service included (2 hot 1 ground) Outdoor rated #6 or heavier wiring is recommended. Your wiring will originate from your home electric panel, run to a GFCI and then be connected(hard wired) to the Smart Touch 2000 electrical pack inside your spa. If you are using conduit under deck or concrete pad, this is the area it should terminate. You need to connect the black and white wires to (L1 and L2. The white Load neutral is not required with our spas so you can leave that disconnected. ACC has modified the terminal connections so now you can't hook up a white neutral to the pack. (There were electricians re-wiring the Smart Touch 2000 packs in the past and causing problems). " https://www.integrityspas.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TAHITIAN_TV_SPA

Thanks, is #6 gauge wire (6/2 with ground) large enough to handle the 60amp breaker? I will put it in gray pvc under the ground, only need about 20ft for wall to box and box to hot tub. Is the stranded 6/2 wire okay to use or is it better to use solid copper wire, romex under ground stranded seems easy to find, not so much for the solid copper 6/2 wire?

But can I use a 60amp with GFCI in my electric panel inside the house and then run the wire from inside panel through the wall of the house to outside to a disconnect box mounted on outside of house which is about 10 ft from the side of the hot tub?

This is in Virginia, not a lot of code going on here compared to where we lived before in NJ. We have been in Virginia 10 months.

So it is okay to put the GFCI inside the electric panel in inside of the house and not outside near the tub? My electric panel says use these breakers, On the panel it says the following: Use Cutler -Hammer Type BD, BJ,BJH,BQC,BR, BRAF,BRD, BRH, BRO, BRSN, BRWH, GFCB, GFEP, OR GFCBH CIRCUIT BREAKERS CIRCUIT BREAKERS So will that above breaker fit in my panel? I do have 6 knockouts still open? Are you sure that type breaker will fit? Also just having a disconnect is acceptable you are saying outside about 10 ft from spa, is that correct?

Need to find a compatible 60amp GFCI Box to install on outside wall 10 ft from Hot tub. Looking for a CH60SPAST , but can't find one anywhere. Would any other be compatible with my electric panel and the breaker I'm using in the house?
