    Voila.... all done.... unless you are going for the optional strainer.

    Well, the strainer I got was too big for the 1" fittings and too small for the 1-1/4" fittings. I'm not sure if other strainers out there of the same style would fit better or not and these length strainers can be a little difficult to come by. I only have one outlet for the sump flow and wanted the largest surface area just in case something flew over the back and got stuck on the strainer. But to fit the strainer in the PVC fittings I had to thin the inner walls of the fitting (this is where the Dremel came in). It was super easy and I just siliconed the strainer in place so that it would be only semi-permanent.

    Renee, That was one of the BEST Do it Yourself Posts I have ever read. I say this because of the explanation and the superb use of photos with the graphics listing what is what. I tell you what, if I needed to build a stand pipe that sure would of made the process a breeze. TOPNOTCH!!!

    Great thread! Thanks for taking the time to write it up! My greatest intentions never seem to find time around here for such posts. Keep'm coming!!
