I am installing a whirlpool tub and am running a new circuit for the

the electrical box and then to the receptacle?

Thanks

If you mount a GFCI receptacle inside the tub surround, how are you
going to access it for testing and reseting in necessary? *Other then
that I agree with RBM.

Many new tubs come with very short cord and plugs on them, so you install
the outlet next to the plug, accessible through the access hatch

I guess that makes sense. Thanks.
