Why is it said that a reducing check valve can be used to lower the height of the pump outlet isolation valve?

Using a reducer changes the diameter; how can the height be reduced?
The pump outlet usually has a diameter change; using an eccentric check valve allows one fitting to be omitted, thereby reducing the installation height
Using reducers can reduce the pump’s installation height, but only to a limited extent.
I do not recommend using it this way. My approach is as follows: 1. For outlet pipes of 3 inches or less in diameter: connect them directly upwards. 1. For outlet pipes of 4 inches or more in diameter: connect them back to the ground level; install the valves along the side of the pump before connecting them upwards. Make sure to drain any remaining fluid, and avoid letting the pipes extend near the motor.
The diameter changes; the decrease is so small that it’s hard to detect even with the naked eye
So I saved the height difference between the large and small ends
Why are large pipes laid upward after reaching the ground?
A reducing check valve – I’ve never seen one before. . . Do places usually deduct up to this extent? . .
If large pipes are installed vertically, the shut-off valves will have to be placed at a high position. Moreover, when the piping work is not done properly, installing things vertically can lead to stress concentration at the pipe ends.
Will this cause a fluid pocket?
