Ejector Pump in Basement Floor

I ran across an ejector pump today that was located in a basement floor. There were no pipes coming out of the pit, and the sewer line was not an overhead sewer line. But it looks to me as if there was some type of vent in the top of the pit cover as anybody ran into this before?

Sump Pump or Ejector Pump?

Are you certain that’s an ejector pump and not just a sump pump? With the condensate drain passing through the lid it looks more like a sump pump pit that has a lateral discharge buried in the floor slab.

Side Discharge

It must be a side discharge under the floor. You might be able to remove the little rubber gromet to get a look inside. Also, is that the WH TPR discharge you caught in your picture?

Response

I think it’s a ejector pump just because there is a sump pump located just a few feet from it that is discharging to the exterior.
