Pumping in to an empty pipe
Pumping in to an empty pipe
(OP)
A sump pump to transfer the drainage from a sprinkler release. We need to transfer water to tanks if the sprinklers ever release. Obviously we expect it never to happen. but if it does we are pumping say 700 GPM up through empty pipe to some storage tanks. Because it is a chemical production plant I was thinking PVC discharge iping. But because the pipe will be full of air I am thinking that PVC is a bad ideaand should use steel. Agree? I should probably add some pretty good vents at the end of the piping above the point where it goes into the tank.?.

Is the storage tank above or below the pump?
