+1, very sound advice... I have done this, and agree, it does lower the vibration to all the plumbing. Also a nice way to disconnect everything from the main plumbing to the return pump, just in case you change pumps, and have to alter the connections. I have changed return pumps 3 times, and this had made things very easy.
