check valve
The design of the check valve implies a spring loaded one, but it could be a unique design swing check. The only thing a tap on the check valve could cure, assuming the pump is actually running, is some problem with the check valve. It would have nothing to do with the discharge line, or its operation. More common is that a tap on the piping jars the switch to turn the pump on.
