The pic, it looked at first like the green bonding wire came out of the flex conduit, but I think that's just the way the pic was taken and the bonding wire is separate. So what you want to cap off is the black tape ends sticking out of the flex metal conduit, I think. The solution would be to disconnect it at the box end, cover the hole with a blank. How did you wind up with just short stub wires sticking out? But then I'm wondering what that flex metal conduit is doing in a wet location to begin with. It's not code today, IDK the history of whether it was code in the past or not. One thing for sure, I'd make sure there is a GFCI breaker on that whole rig. |

We have no way of knowing what you have there, no pic, nothing. Nor do we know how it was installed or what's right or wrong. I'm with Derby, get an electrician before you kill someone. IDK how you could have wires sticking out, smoking, sparking at a spa to begin with. +1000 on that! -- Tekkie |

It is not at all surprising that you would not get a simple fart joke, such things are far beneath your towering intellect....... |

It really bothers you when someone points out you have introduced red herrings and opened up rabbit holes. You should work on that, inability to accept criticism is one of your major character flaws. You also have a decided persecution complex, which is funny because you attack everyone. |

Thanks Google is a useful utility. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en_US&q=wire%20nut I'm all for learning how to DIY, but if you've got sparking and smoking wires near water and don't know what a wire nut is, this is not the best project to hone your electrical skills on. I strongly suggest calling an electrician before you hurt yourself or a loved one. I strongly suspect a troll. Sparking and smoking 240V wires sticking out by a spa where a blower was disconnected? Awww is it scaring you? -- This exchange was overheard between the separated sections of the jail. A male voice yells over to the female side: "I got 12 inches over here you would love to have." The female response was: "Well, spit it out it isn't yours." |
