My favorite way to cut pvc pipe is with a miter saw. The only thing is that I have to dig it out of the back of the garage to use it. I use a 2" pvc pipe cutter that cuts clean. Great video, thank you for the info.

Great tutorial Dan, makes a whole lot more sense to remove the 90's. Really good video, clean and professional.

I’ve never installed one of these. Great video, seems to be pretty simple and well worth it

Never seen a check valve like this one, nice tips!

I just installed mine. WOW super quiet thanks so much!!!

This would be very helpful for homeowners. It’s incredible how many houses have failing sump pumps. Nice video 👍 #homeinspection #homeownership #mysumppumpisbroke #replacecheckvalve

Thanks!

You explained my current life altering situation within the first 40 seconds of the video

Having dealt with sump pumps at my condo (25yr) and now at my detached (code) - the only possible negative I am seeing is that you permanently installed the check valve with glue - I see the unit on Amzn but I am used to the black rubber/c-clamp models [aka Buna-N Couplings] . Though I had found my pump worked well for 15yr (until it got seized due to a glove falling into the bottom - I ended up replacing it) - I had a couple of times issues with the check valve. I tried cleaning but ultimately bought a new one. I just undid the clamps with the rubber gaskets - out with the old,. in with the new. IMO with the check valve containing moving parts - it is more susceptible to failure and I would prefer to use the gasket/clamp model to easily review/replace. IMO the permanent method requires more work e.g. cutting/need more new pipe/probably the glue is no good and need to buy more of that etc. I have always been touchy with these things - I bought a water detector from HD and put it near the pump area just in case that big rain was the day the pump failed. Thanks

great idea 👍🏼

Very nice video and explanation. Currently, my pump discharge piping has the 45 degree elbows just like your new installation, and the current check valve is below the sump cover directly on the discharge of the pump. I want to install this quiet check valve; is it better to install it above the sump cover like yours or below the sump cover? The other noise that I have is transmitted vibration where the pipe tightly goes through the siding of the house.

Another brand uses flexible rubber to attach a similar type valve. This eliminates the glue part. Think this is ok? Thanks. Nice vid.

solved my issue!

Can you install this type of pump horizontally rather than vertically?

I’m confused about the permanent bond for the check valve. If you have to replace the check valve, then what? Do you have to get all new pvc piping for the whole setup? Is it okay to not use cement?

You did not list the type of cement? All purpose? Cpvc?

What size PVC pipe should be used?
