pump piping

[MarkC]

Schedule 40 is what is usually used. I do believe 1.5" on a 2hp pump is a little on the small side and would have gone with 2". Is the pump inlet and outlet sized for 2". When you said it did not hold was your PVC cleaner and joint cement relatively new? I have had failures using old PVC cement in the past. I would let it sit pressure free overnight just to be on the safe side.

thanks for the quick reply. pump is set-up for 2". existing lines are 1 1/2". used a bushing for transition. glue was new. even used the green glue for the pvc to abs spots. maybe just should let it sit longer cause its pressure? i could change whats above ground to 2" but would still have 1 1/2 under ground.

This Christy's Hot glue really works well. Still any joint under pressure (unlike waste lines) will require at least a few hours to cure. I would wait over night in this application if possible.
