I am planning a Hot Tub installation. I want to bury EMT (Rated for burial) using compression fittings at the joints. I am debating what cable to use.. Can I use NM type or must I use UF type cable? Also I have seen here that the ground wire requires insulation and I have not seen any NM or UF wire that has a seperately insulated ground wire, is the cable jacket considered insulaton for the ground wire in these type of cables? If not can I just pull 4 insulated type THHN or similar #6 wires? Thanks in advance for your advice!
