Plumbing Experts, critique my plumbing idea...

[ZoaFan08]

According to my math my 1.5" drain will flow 1325gph into my sump, I am using a QuietOne 9000 which flows 2328gph with zero head. Since I have a combined 7ft of head, 12 90*s, and a reducer from 1.5" to 1" this pump will flow right around 1300gph with the way I have it plumbed. The QuietOne 9000 comes with a 1.5" fitting for the output which will be plumbed into a 1.5" pipe and then tees off to to 1" pipes. Should I have them tee off to two 3.4" pipes to keep a 1.5" the total diameter?

Please critique me and tell me yes, no hell no and even feel free to say I'm crazy

Not an plumbing expert, but you might want to consider a durso stand pipe for the overflow to reduce noise

I would add some cotrol valves on the outputs under the T's good for adjusting flow to either side and isolating if needed

I too would add valves and unions. It is easier to take apart pieces of plumbing to change rather than the entire thing

 

[ZoaFan08]

Yes I was going to add unions and a few ball valves. Thanks for the input

Durso Stand on your drain pipe for sure or it's going to sound like the Colorado river. It will also most likely surge.

I prefer the stockman standpipe over the durso, its smaller and quieter!
