Joshua Peterson with Peterson Electric here in Arvada, Colorado for a customer. Got a simple phone call about some ceiling fans. As you look around here, we have a pool indoor and some of the code restrictions are in Article 60 about pools. Any kind of ceiling fan or light fixture, it has to be 12 foot above the water line. Right here where our water line is you would measure from there up and as the pool dips that doesn’t matter. The fact of the matter is you have to measure 12 foot up. These fixtures fit right at the bottom at about 9 foot to 8, so the GFCI protection needed to be put in this circuit for the lighting and fans. The code also says that if there is any outlets, I think 10 to 20 foot. I would have to look it up. You have to GFCI protect those as well, any outlets that are going to be plugged into any equipment. Also, when you get your ceiling fans, they need to be rated for outdoor wet design and if you can get a corrosion, which is a stainless steel screw like these were that would be beneficial. The whole entire fan is metal and plastic, we didn’t have a wood, so I don’t think that it is going to rust over time. Thanks for joining us! See you next week! We do simple jobs, ceiling fans with pools!
