Good afternoon everybody,
I recent picked up a hot tub I want to install.
The hot tub calls for #6 awg copper wire and a 50 amp breaker.
I have a bunch of #4 awg aluminum wire.
the board on the hot tub has terminals that will only accept a #6 awg cooper wire.
Can I run the #4 awg aluminum wire to the tub and transition to the #6 awg copper using a aluminum butt splice?
kinda like the one pictured:
I was also going to encase the whole thing in heat shrink tubing.
any help/advise is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
