Lawyers always look for the money. If (like most ECs) you have a million dollar liability insurance policy, you WILL be involved. Then when your insurance pays out, your rates go through the roof & you're out of business.

This sounds a little bit like a job I was inspecting. The HO told me that he was going to install a receptacle INSIDE of the shower area. I ask him WHY? He said that it was for a special mirror that was lighted for shaving. I asked him for the instructions to make sure that it was listed and labeled for the application. I never got that listing nor did the receptacle go inside the shower.

Now that you've told the story Internationally on the internet, it's doubtful that you'd be totally unaccountable for doing something that you knew was terribly wrong.
What-Someboby's trying to give Joe Tedesco's "floating bottle" a run for its money for the electrical Darwin award?
I agree with iwire. You should not complete this, but then you knew that before you started the thread. You might kill someone, and even if you weren't the one going to jail, you still killed someone when you knew better.
Let him run his stupid TV on batteries.

Hey, I can't help it if the boss does not have the *alls to tell this guy NO. Even the builder knows. I did all I could.
Yeah, and get this.....this is going to be a Model home.

Sounds to me like you do not have the *alls to tell the boss NO. It is your work that will be on trial not the bosses. You want to keep it out of your hands, remove the wiring for this installation. Have the boss install it. I would bet he will not, he knows better. You will be his fall guy.

Then it is time to find a new job. The boss does not care about his company, that also means he does not care about YOU! This guy will throw you under the bus with this installation.
Take the advice of the other guys posting here and do not install that outlet.It will cause you problems down the road.

Zapped why does it seem that you are fighting everyones opinion? If you did this installation you screwed up. If something happes you are screwed. The thing that is not clear to me is did YOU do this installation?

Zapped-
what about next time ? Yes next time ! you stated this is a model home. people will see this (if not pointed out to them)and they will have to have it also . sounds like a can of worms. DO NOT COMPLETE this installation. Go back and undo any and all wiring and have the sheetrockers mud the hole shut. The boss or contractor can not do anything about it, because they will be pushing YOU to do something wrong. Be smart and do it right. Explain to the boss that it is illegal and you want no part of it, if he insists you do this work say no- might cost you the job but do you want to run the risk of killing some one.
Like I said ... Be smart and do it right
