discharge pipe

Fluid exit tube

A discharge pipe is a pipe through which fluid exits a system—carrying water from a pump, waste from a drain, or exhaust from a process.

The term emphasizes the outflow function: The discharge pipe from the sump pump runs to the street.

Common in plumbing, industrial equipment, and HVAC systems.
