A friend of mine called me about an outlet for his sump pump. He said that he ran 3/4 PVC conduit under the basement slab and into the sump pump pit. he said that he was going to install a box on the RNC and install a single receptacle.
He asked me if that would be OK. I said that I will have to look into it. I told him that all of the receptacles that I have seen for sump pumps were above the level of the floor.
I am the person who will be instecting this installation, I have to make a decision based on the 2005 NEC. I have searched this web site's forums but could not find and information that would help.
If anyone has ever installed a receptacle in a sump (pit) or know any code references which would help me make a decision, pkeases let me know. Any information will be appriciated.
Thanks Again, Bill
