Ya, that isn't quite how I would do it.

While your "house" pipe is ABS (Assume 1 1/2"?) you're better off using poly 1 1/4" for the run from the sump to the pipe vs. ABS. That way the hose connecting the sump to the house is flexible (then you can move/adjust hose/pump itself as needed), whereas all-ABS is going to be rigid and not ideal for a vibrating/moving appliance.

Sump pump

Check Valve

Sump hose kit (connects directly to your 1 1/4" valve, and comes with a clamp)

1 1/4" barb to 1 1/2" threaded coupling (comes in that kit, bonus score)

1 1/2" threaded to 1 1/2" ABS coupling


You'll also need ABS cement and an additional 1 1/2" ring worm clamp to clamp the end of the poly sump pipe to the threaded barb adapter
