Nevermind, I shrank the file to 350KB and now it worked..
Anyway, for the question:
Can anyone point me to the area where this would be illegal (see picture)
This is a receptacle powering a residential jacuzzi in a bathroom. Its not secured to the steel stud in the wall, just laying on the floor. Thanks!

There is no reason a box cannot be mounted to the vertical framing of the tub surround. Or even mounted to the floor. That is just poor workmanship

The 2011 has clarified where the box must be installed.
Just went to a code update class where one electrician commented that they always float the box for easy access later. Guess that the inspectors never stick their head in there after the tub is installed.

It only takes five seconds to nail a box to a stud and put a staple or two in. Some people are so lazy....

If you are using nails and staples with metal studs you are doing it wrong.:grin:
