Thread: Ejector pumps & lines

I rarely find ejector pumps and generally disclaim them along with a recommendation to have them regularly serviced. I searched the archives and got some good information, but did not find my question addressed.

The discharge side line was ABS. ABS is the standard for DWV in Calif. However, I was under the impression that ABS is not designed for pressure, so shouldn't this be Sch. 40 PVC? Or, is it OK?

Yes, yes... Needs a check valve and a gate valve.

Say Gunnar. That could be a real mess to pop a line in a yard or even at the pump. I don't know what the pressure is coming out of these pumps.

All the ones that you see set up by most plumbers are white pipe Sch. 40 PVC.

I don't think there is that much pressure to damage ABS black pipe...

They allow those receptacle outlets down there below where the water can fill up to?

JP,

Actually, it is a rotted plywood box. So, no problem.

No alarm, either.
