shut off box trouble
I am hooking up a 3 pump tank water system that is a 1000 gal. tank that is enclosed with covers. One of the owners was asking to place the shut off main disconnect by the tank. Is it NY code that shut off boxes have to be at least 3 feet away from water pipes or the closed tank?? i cannot seem to find the answer. can anyone help???

Forgive me, but your terminology ("shut off box") causes me to ask. Are you really an electrician?

I am used to calling it a Maintenance Disconnect and within sight and within 50 feet.

If you lived there, you'd be living on a stage.

You would have to move to the South to live in something like that.
