Thanks, Jerry,

I interpreted E3802.5, Exception 2 to apply.......therefore, a GFCI is not required for the sump pump...

2. A single receptacle or duplex receptacle for two appliances located within dedicated space for each appliance that in normal use is not easily moved from one place to another, and that is cord- and plug-connected.


Although the questions stated only a sump pump was in place, the duplex receptacle implies that two applicances could be installed......

Also, Why a 20amp circuit and not a 15 amp circuit?
