[Luman01]

Ok so I have a problem with my sump... so I’m having my main drain back flow up and over my sump. It does it very quietly too so, and I need to reseal my stand as well. I’ll show pics so y’all can get an idea.

Any trigger sump owners, do you know how I can take off the black entry pipe into the sump? If you can plz let me know how I can do so. If you don’t know what I’m talking a keg look at the pic.


Thanks in advance!
Lucas

Is it glued?

If so you're kinda stuck with it. You could always put a short length of pipe on it with a hose barb fitting.

It unscrews into a fitting under the acrylic. Use a rubber oring on the topside when putting back together.

Idk if it’s glued or not. If it what I’ll do is replace the flex tubing with hard plumbing. A new diy sump is also on the table but that’s the last resort.

I was just typing...
but it kind of looks like it is a threaded fitting

What’s a rubber print?

Sounds like it unscrews.

If I used channel locks maybe or a crescent wench would it take it off?

 

[steveb]

or a hammer

I would try hands first before using tools. if you do use tools be easy. If you bought it used someone may have glued them.

 

[steveb]

that last picture looks like a socket with male threads on top and then a threaded coupler underneath.

 

[steveb]

and I pasted the wrong link earlier.. but you could use if you can't get it off.

If you can get them apart and want a cleaner look you could use a barb/threaded fitting..

Mine unscrewed by hand. Would recommend only hand tightening.
