which pass through the strainer will pass through
the pump.
Either hose or rigid pipe may be used for dis-
charge piping. To facilitate mobility and mainte-
nance, it is recommended that the discharge line
be fitted with a quick disconnect fitting near the
pump. The discharge line must be independently
supported to avoid strain and vibration on the
pump.
For maximum pumping capacity, keep the dis-
charge as short and straight as possible. Minimize
the use of elbows and fittings which increase fric-
tion losses through the discharge piping system.
It is recommended that a check valve or throttling
valve be installed in the discharge line to control si-
phoning or back flow when the pump is shut off.
