    Thanks Jim, I had just picked up the BeanAnimal scent before my last meeting. As I get a chance between the meaningless job stuff, I'll do a serious search. Vents? I ain't got no stinking vents!! :o

    Hey James, The returns came plumbed with ball valves. The drain configuration is a threaded 1" bulkhead, connected to a 1" elbow, to 3" of 1" rigid pvc pipe, to a 1" ball valve, then another short length of rigid pvc, to a 1" slip union, to about 10' of 1" flex PVC into the sump. I'm sure...
