PVC Pipe & Connectors:
I hope you didn’t get all the way to the home store without looking at your project, evaluating the twists and turns your piping is going to take, and writing down a reasonable tally of PVC sections, elbows, and connectors to purchase.
Get your tape measure out and think about where you want to run your pipe, and then count every time you have to make a corner or join 2 pieces of straight pipe (PVC pipes come in 10 feet or 5 feet sections). Its easy to think of 90° elbows… but do you have sections where you’ll need 45° or 60° elbows? Try to figure it out now so you don’t have to run back to the store. If you get too many pieces, you can always bring them back for a refund.
Get 1.5″ diameter Schedule 40 PVC Pipe.
An adapter like this will screw into your sump-pump, and then you can glue PVC pipe into the other end. Wrap the threads with Teflon tape if you have any.

I am really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

This is some really good information about sump pumps. I didn\’t\’ realize that you would want to think about what type of sump pump you will need. I wasn\’t even aware that there was a pedestal sump pump. It seems like you would want to talk to a contractor about what type to get.
