i read a few threads here that indicated it is very common practise to not bolt the pumps down. I'm just wondering if anyone had not bolted a pump that was attached with EMT. Cause I would hate for the pump jump and rip the breaker box down. lol. That's so not funny. :eek:
 
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
Rigid Galvanized Conduit Pipe to Keep Electrical Cable Safe

This EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) is made from the highest quality steel, and then it's galvanized to help prevent corrosion or rusting. Easy to cut or bend and lightweight this conduit will help protect electrical wires and cables from environmental, chemical and mechanical forces for many years.

If the EMT conduit is hard connected to the pump then I'd probably bolt the pump down even though you'll probably be fine not doing it. The plumbing and the conduit itself will hold the pump still enough that it won't separate the conduit from the connector.
