No brass. No metal of any kind.Does gate valve go to emergency(wider) or main siphon, home depot in my area only have brass gate valves, is that OK? The do have pvc ones
I meant to say they do have pvc ball valves***are ball valves ok? Thanks for your help man..I’m actually in the Home Depot lolNo brass. No metal of any kind.
PVC.
Gate goes on the main drain, the syphone. It will be tuned by closing until you get a full syphone,the maximum amount of flow in the pipe.
Check online, spears is the best but there are others. Be aware, Amazon carries cheap ones but they leak, I know, I tried.
Go to a plumbing store online. Get a name brand and you can't go wrong. Shouldn't be too much $$

Went andTo find tune, you really need a gate valve.
Ball valves are more for on/off, can't find tune them.

How do I attach pvc to the return pump? Is this what they mean by threading the pvc?
So I got this far, but and the water moves fast with no leaks. But when the water leaves the drain pipe it’s makes a lot of noise. Is it supposed to extend into the water because it not actually in the water but above itWatch that return line, you might want to secure that also.
Into the water about an inch +-So I got this far, but and the water moves fast with no leaks. But when the water leaves the drain pipe it’s makes a lot of noise. Is it supposed to extend into the water because it not actually in the water but above it
whats the setting that i should be looking for? should water be going down both pipes or just main?Into the water about an inch +-
On a herbie style drain you want to open the gate on the main drain, close it slowly until you see a trickle going down the Emergency Drain. That's how you set it.whats the setting that i should be looking for? should water be going down both pipes or just main?
