Gfci required

[hhsting]

I have sewage sump pump receptacle in indoor wet location. I said to provide gfci since NEC 2017 Article 210.7(b) says so. However, engineer came back saying gfci not required per NEC 2017 Article 620.85. Does NEC 2017 Article 620.85 override NEC 3017 Article 210.8(b) and gfci would not be required or is the gfci required?

Yes it overrides it, but the sump pump needs to be a single receptacle.

620 is Elevators. Is that your location?

If the location requires the receptacle to have GFCI protection then it needs the protection. Is it in an elevator pit? What code section would require a single receptacle?

NEC 2017 Article 620.85

The section he quoted NEC 2017 Article 620.85, and yeah it better be an elevator pit if he's quoting 620

A single receptacle supplying a permanently installed sump
pump shall not require ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection.

I'm just hoping that there's not actually sewage in the elevator pit.

That's why I asked about the location.
