Do a Google search on "NFPA 20". you will find loads of downloadable presentations on the net that talk to this.

Now... having said that, you need to KNOW what code is in effect in the region in which you intend to install this pump and then you need to ensure the pump is installed to that code.

Jockey pump may be hooked up backwards south of the equator.

Yes... but only if an "Anti-Coriolis" effect device is in series with the jockey pump.
