Anymore takers? 
Great question(s) Chuck . Thanks for your time.
According to the 2012 IRC 4209.3:
Power is supplied by an individual branch circuit
The motor is plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle that is readily accessible
Electrical equipment (pump motor) must be accessible without damaging the building structure or building finish.
Disconnecting means are required within sight of the motor
Metal parts of the bathtub must be bonded together with at least an 8 AWG solid conductor copper wire. If the whirlpool tub is constructed entirely of plastic or fiberglass, there may not be any components that require bonding to the pump motor. If metal water supply and drain piping serves the bathtub, those pipes would need to be bonded.

Per the 2001 IPC 421.5
Per the 2009 Plumbing Code: “where the manufacturer’s instructions do not specify the location
and minimum size of field-fabricated access openings, a 12-inch by 12-inch minimum sized
opening shall be installed to provide access to the circulation pump. Where pumps are located
more than 2 feet from the access opening, an 18-inch by 18-inch minimum sized opening shall
be installed. A door or panel shall be permitted to close the opening. In all cases, the access
opening shall be unobstructed and of the size necessary to permit the removal and replacement of
the circulation pump.”
Let’s try one more time - I’ll certainly understand if you kick me to the curb, but I gotta write a report so no more dawdling…

I did that one already.
You didn’t win any books. Only William won the books. You did win a really first-rate attaboy though.
Good response, but Roy already used that source.
There’s still more good sources out there…
Anybody got one from a state SOP?
Do I at the minimum receive the CMI plack ! Com’on man!
Let me get this straight!
You posted a multiple answer question, but there is only one winner?
What’s up with that?
You are joking right?
Please be aware that the attaboy we sent you is unique, first-rate, brand-spanking, shiny new and never before used. Anyone can get a case of books, but no one other than YOU will ever receive this particular “attaboy” as presented to you and you alone, by the Awards Committee and all of your peers. Please enjoy it in good health and in the spirit, it was given.
Does that answer your question?
I’m screwin’ with Chuck Brother Marc.
I still want my CMI plack !
I already have my inspectorsarcus shirt !
LOL :lol:
Mr. Fetty !
At the minimum I should get my CMI plack…
My answer was better…Yep!
Just Jokin’!
Do I get a Better Luck Next Time beer? Beer is good.
Winning is still within your grasp. Code Check may not be a valid authoritative source in its own right, but it does make reference to sources that are (more than just the one).
Great format and concept Chuck! Great subject too! Thanks for your time.
Yes siree! Chuck came up with a fine format and subject. It is a pleasure having him as part of the Awards Committee.
Thank you guys.
