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.
Thank you for sharing, both are great ways and I’m glad the video was helpful! If you want a really quiet setup I made a part 2 and I can now barely hear it run:

Great tutorial Dan, makes a whole lot more sense to remove the 90's. Really good video, clean and professional.
Much appreciated, I started as a car guy and it was all about flow for better performance. Having the 90’s especially with a slight downward grade made zero sense to me and the check valve certainly wasn’t operating to its full potential because of it. Everything happens for a reason and it allowed for an upgrade. 👍
This would be very helpful for homeowners. It’s incredible how many houses have failing sump pumps. Nice video 👍

Thank you, please feel free to share with any homeowners that need help. 👍
I’ve never installed one of these. Great video, seems to be pretty simple and well worth it
Thank you! When people find out for approximately $30 they could make their sump pump quiet they wish they would have done it a long time ago!
Never seen a check valve like this one, nice tips!
Thank you! I’m a big fan as not only is it truly silent, but you can see what’s going on as well. 👍
solved my issue!
Glad it was helpful!
I just installed mine. WOW super quiet thanks so much!!!
You’re very welcome, glad it helped! 👍
You explained my current life altering situation within the first 40 seconds of the video
Hopefully it’s the loud sump pump situation and you’re able to get it fixed now. 😳
great idea 👍🏼
Thank you! Having a quiet check valve is a game changer. 👍
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.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. I would recommend to install the new quiet check valve above the lid about 12”. If you install it too close to the sump pump a weep hole may be unable to be drilled that many pumps require to prevent air lock. In addition if you install it above like I recommend you can visual see what is going on without removing the lid. A lot of times a check valve will cause your vibration. After installing this quiet check valve let me know. I’ll do another video with a recommended sump pump that is super quiet! If you found this helpful I look forward to you subscribing as part of the family and getting notifications of future videos to help. 👍
@@inspiringbuilds For 30 years I've had Wayne submersible sump pumps which say the pump is precision engineered to eliminate Air Lock, and no weep hole is necessary. Also, I was kind of thinking that by having the check valve closest to the pump under the water, it would assure that the entire line is always water filled and none of it drains back into the sump, although it makes it somewhat more cumbersome to disconnect it being down in the sump.
@@jmurphy2611 They’re great sump pumps, I’m getting ready to do a video on one of them. Super quiet and a game changer! You’re correct with the way they’re engineered without needing a weep hole to avoid air lock.
Can you install this type of pump horizontally rather than vertically?
Hi Robert, yes you can, but if you have the opportunity vertically would be my preference. Here is a 2nd part to this video if you want a super quiet setup that will last long term. How to Install a Sump Pump in a Basement:

To route the discharged water up and outside
Thanks for watching. I’m not following your comment, can you explain more please?
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?
Thanks for watching. You can simple unscrew the check valve and replace it when needed. The PVC piping either needs bonded with primer and cement or you can use a PVC coupler that is super easy if you prefer. A 2 pack right now is less than $10. Let me know if that helps.

What size PVC pipe should be used?
Good question. In this video and most setups require a 1.5” PVC pipe and it’s marked on the pipe itself. Here is a link: amzn.to/49zECc2
