Why would a factory supplied cord on a pump be any different than a pool light furnished with a cord?

Back to the earlier questions, if any receptacle or light in the pit was intended to have a disconnect ahead of it, they would be specifically addressed the way they are in 620.53.

620.55 would be addressing other hard wired equipment, maybe a unit heater for example.

BTW, why would a receptacle to serve a sump pump be any more of a hazard than the required receptacle in 620.24?

OK, now I have to add...

How about a pool light with a 100' cord? That's underground for sure.

Recently on a resi elvator, the spec called for a 'safety switch' (lockable) to cut out the 120 volt control, and one to cut-out the GFI in the equipment room. The last comm on we did, a 3-pole disco for "all" 120 volt circuits in the 'pit'.

Electure's point was taken, and yes his install would be acceptable.
