Do i need to use a threaded pipe on the discharge hole or any 1 1/2 pvc pipe (sched 40) will work?

Yes1) You will need a threaded pvc adapter. The threaded end fit the pump and glue 1 1/2" pvc pipe into the other end 2) Drill a small hole as per instructions on the vertical rise so the pump doesn't airlock3) I would also install a one way valve (check valve) on the vertical rise about $10 or so at Menards..........they are rubber and connected with hose clamps.Should work finethank youBill Sparks

Yes, I've got them screwed into a 1 1/2" PVC pipe. The seller didn't include the 10mm bolt, which is required to thread the PVC. The thread of the nipple is only about 1/4" so there would be no way to put a nut on the backside. Also, installation must be vertical because of the design, the ball bearing in the nipple seals the opening by gravity. You will need to drill the hole just a bit smaller than the bolt and use plumbing thread tape on the nipple before you install it. Done properly it does not leak at all (at least mine didn't).

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

Looks like the hose OD is about 1 1/2" on mine. But I suspect you can use different pvc fittings to make other sizes fit also. Its running now!

I was able to find a female to female hose connector with a swivel at Lowe's easily. Check the plumbing/garden department...it was straightforward. I think the thread pitch is that of a hose and not of usual NPT threads for PVC. Good luck!

Home Depot has threaded pipes of metal. Those are expensive but worth it. These come in threaded of standard length I think 36 and 48 inches. They fit perfectly with the clamp. Go for metal so that there is no bend in the middle. I was hoping to save money with plastic but that was not working. Thanks and hope you found it helpful.

Standard Pipe Thread I just had a piece of 8' cut in half at Home Depot. The pipe only needs to be thread on one end.

There is a threaded hole. I use a Skil buffer so not sure of the size match up

I used the same size (1/2) for a pvc 1/2 with some couplers and works ok. Read a little more. I think ABS pipe is not for water feeding.

This is a Waterway Side discharge pump, since you have the same pump your fittings should work fine, the internal male threads are 1.5" NPT.

Intake is through a filter so that should not be an issue. The discharge is a double female socket which is 3/4". I have a 1/4" hose on the nipple end of a 3/4" male adapter. I believe both the socket and adapter came with it. (I have had it for a while.)

I actually had some one put this in for me. My old PVC pipes fit. You my need extra hardware silver ring fasteners w/screws & a possible rubber washer. Take a pic of it and take it to your local hw store for more help. Sorry. I wanted to take a pic of it but was too confusing using gmail �

These fittings have a 3/4 inch slip fitting that a short piece of PVC pipe can be glued into. You can then use another fitting that is slip on one side and threaded on the other and use a 3/4 screw cap fitting.

It is threaded for standard 2" Schedule 40 PVC, which is why they claim it can handle up to 2" solids. If you are looking for a sump system, I have had good results with the Wayne Home Equipment 28486-WYN1 Sewage Pump Cover, Sewage Pump Basin by Wayne Home Equipment and CHECK VALVE QUIET WHT 2" by Campbell. All of these products fit together and provide solid waste removal.

The one I ordered (I think it is the one you ask about) has the pipe thread on the inside of the water inlet (top hole). Wrap your threaded pipe with teflon tape, then screw it in tight. Mine worked perfectly!
