If you have a backflow in the pump room the local water authority may
require a set clearance for testing. 3 feet around everything seems a
little extreme but it's not like clearance is a bad thing. Does that mean
you can't have system risers closer than say 4 feet on center too?
On Thu, Nov 5,
In one local jurisdiction here there is a requirement for three feet all
around major equipment, font, sides, and back. It would good if they would
inform the architects that continue to provide smaller and smaller pump and
riser rooms.

NFPA 20 only requires that the room be sized "to fit" with clearance for
access. While that clearance is required, there is no set amount of clearance

I'm only aware of prescriptive clearance requirements in front of controller
doors, which is per the NEC as Matthew cited. We've NEVER programmed a 3'
clearance around mechanical equipment.

One of my top three favorite answers:
1) Because I'm the AHJ.
2) Because I said so.
3) It's in the book.
Joking aside. Find out what "book". I'm not aware of additional clearances
other than the electrical.
Thank you,

Nope.
Just NFPA 70-110 26F, or something..
3 feet seems to be accepted numbers for all.
However, different electrical system types and environments could make that
increase.
