I’ve done a little research on macerator configurations. I’ve seen 2 basic methods of mounting the pumps in the pictures I’ve looked at. One is using saddle hangars and attach to the underside of the aluminum cross plates with what I assume are metal screws. I think this would work fine for the large pipe support but not sure I want to do that for the pump support. I like the additional steel plate platform to mount the pump on so that the vibration of the pump will be absorbed by its rubber mounting feet. I do like adding the gate to the pipe branch leading to the pump to allow for service or replacement of the pump. I do like the idea of using the larger ribbed hose on the discharge side but wonder how the connection is done for the longer discharge hose to the disposal hole at dump sites. Is the under carriage discharge hose and outside discharge hose connected with a quick connect or a screw on connection? Not seeing any pics on that part of it.
PS: Oh, one more question that wasn’t clear on some of the pics is what do you guys do on the routing of the under carriage discharge hose? Is running the route its shortess distance help in the discharge force and clean up?
Thanks,
