I would think both are larger than the intake line----and some intake lines
have a sock type filter over them. If this is true, they are too big to be
sucked into the line. I guess it is possible for them to block that line but
would release when the pump stops.tom

Given that the two pieces are made of steel what is the worst that could
happen?
