Spanish term or phrase: tuberia de envio
This is used in an installation manual. Here's the complete sentence: Para reducir las pérdidas de carga en la tubería de envío, es necesario utilizar un tubo cuyo diámetro sea igual o mayor que el orificio de la bomba eléctrica 5. Thanks!!

discharge line
Explanation:
Even though it is indeed a pipe line, in industrial facilities when refering to a pump we normally say suction line and discharge line. I worked in sugar factories for nearly 25 years, both in my home country as well as in many English speaking countries in the Caribbean, Africa, Far and Middle East.
