Joe, Try this:
NFPA 70, 2005 edition, 695.6 (F) Junction Points. "Where wire connectors are used in the fire pump circuit, the connectors shall be listed. A fire pump controller or fire pump power transfer switch, where provided, shall not be used as a junction box to supply other equipment, including a pressure maintenance (jockey) pump."

He stated the engineer wanted to feed the jockey pump controller from the fire pump controller. Something about a tapping rule or exception. I cautioned against it, told him to research it first. Can anyone give me a section that prohibits this arrangement from either NFPA 20 or NEC? Best regards, Joe Burtell, SET, CFPS Burtell Fire Protection, Inc.
