That way the hose connecting the sump to the house is flexible (then you can move/adjust hose/pump itself as needed), whereas ABS is going to be rigid and not ideal for a vibrating/moving appliance.

Sump hose kit (connects directly to your value, and comes with a clamp

1 1/4" barb to 1 1/2" threaded connector (comes in that kit, 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 |
Ironically, I just stumbled uponthe sump pump hose kits, and came here to ask if that'd be a reasonable solution.
I think that'll be the project for tomorrow.
Thanks Ducay, I really appreciate the input.
And Fuzz, I never would have thought to check to see if the cement I have in the basement is for PVC or ABS, I'll confirm that before I leave the house in the morning.
You guys rock!
