Donnie,
Interesting. . .hadn't thought about cutting the cord cap off. There's probably a listing issue around that for the pump.
Bill,
The current idea is to place the pump in the sump. The sump is in the center of the "stone flower". The center two concentric rings of stone fingers rest on the sump lid and come up with it.
Bjarney,
680.51(E) Wiring. Equipment shall be equipped with provisions for threaded conduit entries or be provided with a suitable flexible cord. The maximum length of exposed cord in the fountain shall be limited to 3.0 m (10 ft). Cords extending beyond the fountain perimeter shall be enclosed in approved wiring enclosures. Metal parts of equipment in contact with water shall be of brass or other approved corrosion-resistant metal.
Given that the sump is only 18" across, there will be less than 10' of cord in the fountain. . .As I read this, there is no max length limit outside of the fountain.
My question. . .What is an approved wiring enclosure, that isn't a raceway?
