I can rout the pipe another way (thru an existing building) and minimize the run on the rack...

I have a 2" solvent pipeline from an outdoor holding tank. The pipe travels on an outdoor pipe rack and eventually makes it way to a building and supplies a batch process. There is a significant elevation change (up) from pump to use point. When solvent is not required for the process, it...
