heater underneath tub?

[JoeNorm]

Customer is building up a platform where a tub will go. He want's me to rough in a wire for a heater underneath the tub. Is this allowed?

I could put it on a GFCI breaker.

What does the chosen heater have to say in its fine manual?
Is this like a toe kick heater to heat the bathroom or the space under the tub?

Yes, 120v bathroom heater.

Manual doesn’t mention anything about that situation

It might unlisted/unapproved

IMO, that's good to go...unless that would be considered wet location.

My youngest and her cousin decided to play 'tidal wave' during bath time once. Not good.
