New to sumps so I’m kind of at a stand still on what to do.
I got pump, came with the pictured fittings. My sump plumbing inlet is 1 1/2 - there is a thread-in bushing. The outlet side is 1 1/2" also. I’m not sure what the thread sizes are on the pump itself. My question is, do they make any special fittings that will thread onto my pump, that will then thread onto plumbing? I know I can shorten my plumbing and then connect pump to plumbing with hose, just not sure if I want to do that or if I can make it work. Would it be easier to find a completely different pump that comes with better fittings?

Does the gray union ball valve have a threaded fitting or slip fitting on the bottom. If it’s slip, glue a short connector to the appropriate sized adapter that came with the pump.

It’s of course threaded, lol
