Zapped I would not continue installing this outlet!

Kill the feed to it and have it 'mudded' over like it was never there.

Quote

406.8 Receptacles in Damp or Wet Locations.

406.8(C) Bathtub and Shower Space. A receptacle shall not be installed within a bathtub or shower space.

If, or more likely when someone gets fried you and your company will be on the hook big time and no letter you send the owner will get you out of trouble.

Strictly speaking if it kills someone you could face jail time.

Are you willing to go to jail so this home owner can watch TV from their bath?

In John's case if the TV is built in to the tub it may be perfectly OK.

I doubt highly that John would pass it if it was not in compliance. [Linked Image]

Please reconsider completing this installation!

Also remember that even if you move this outlet out of the tub space that all receptacle outlets in bathrooms need GFCIs not just counter receptacles.
