Abstract:
1. A pump discharge conduit system for extending through a wall of a structure to allow a pump to discharge outside of the structure, the pump discharge conduit system comprising: an output conduit being adapted for extending through the wall of the structure, said output conduit comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, said inlet end of said output conduit being adapted for being positioned in an interior of the structure such that said inlet end is in fluid communication with the pump, said outlet end of said output conduit is positioned outside of the structure such that said output conduit is for directing discharge from the pump to the outside of the structure through said outlet aperture; a retaining member being selectively coupled to said output conduit such that said retaining member extends outwardly from said output conduit, said retaining member being adapted for abutting an interior face of the wall of the structure that said output conduit extends through to inhibit sliding of said output conduit with respect to the wall; a backing member being coupled to said output conduit such that said backing member extends outwardly from said output conduit, said backing member being positioned in spaced relationship to said retaining member such that said backing member is adapted for abutting an exterior face of the wall of the structure, said backing member and said retaining member being adapted for pressing against the wall to inhibit sliding of said output conduit with respect to the wall; said backing member being positioned at an oblique angle to said output conduit, said backing member being adapted for abutting against an oblique exterior face of the wall to allow said backing member to apply force against the wall evenly to prevent said backing member from damaging the wall when said backing member abuts the wall; and a seal member being selectively positioned around said output conduit, said seal member abutting against said backing member such that said seal member is adapted for being positioned between said backing member and the wall of the structure, said seal member being adapted for sealing an area of the wall adjacent said output conduit such that said seal member is adapted for inhibiting environmental elements and insects from entering the structure between the wall and said output conduit; said output conduit comprising a positioning thread, said positioning thread being positioned between said inlet end and said output end, said backing member threadably engaging said positioning thread such that rotation of said backing member with respect to said output conduit changes the positioning of said backing member along said output conduit, said retaining member threadably engaging said positioning thread such that rotation of said retaining member with respect to said output conduit changes the positioning of said retaining member along said output conduit to permit said backing member and said retaining member to be adjusted to accommodate the wall positioned between said backing member and said retaining member.
