No. The sleeve goes on the output. Then you put an up sized union over that.

I know how Michael from the office would respond to that!
If you could go 1.5" all the way to the tank it would be great. Heck the best is 2". Then you put a 2" wye or tee, reduce to 1", and the. Have that go directly into the tank or through a sea swirl. No locline. That would get you maximum flow potential. The smaller the pipe and the more fittings, the less flow. Now with the Abyzz it is less noticeable because they do well against head pressure. Still, go big.
Give it some cheese.Got any pictures of how you plumbed it? Is it still silent? I'm hating the whine coming from my Vectra L1.
Anyone? Standard PVC primer and glue ok?
hmmm I too have some ABS fittings, but have been told to use PVC glue on them. Might look into this transition cement.....
Got the pump plumbed into my plumbing that was already there. I will be taking time in the next few weeks to redo the plumbing and go with bigger PVC.
You live and hopefully you learn!
I'll chime in since I'm still waiting on the response from 11/2017 with what I'm doing. Not sure what the pumps are shipping with now, but when I got mine they came with 2 grey adapters (see Revh's earlier post). After some fumbling around I realized how to use them. They slip OVER the metric connections on the inlet/outlet like this..@revhtree I have the Abyzz A200 and am fumbling through getting it plumbed. What did you end up doing to get this going? Thanks!

that adapter has the same OD as 1.5" PVC (or 2" on the inlet) so you put a union over that piece like this......

Then you can plumb however you'd like. I'm doing submersible so I went with 1.5" barbed fitting....

So that I can use the very difficult to find and ridiculously expensive thick walled silicone tubing to the sump bulkhead...

Here is a picture showing the 2" inlet adapter

Please note these are all dry fitted right now, I'm still in the (lengthy) process of getting fully plumbed. Abyzz was recommending using a ABS to PVC transition cement rather than straight PVC glue since the body is ABS but I haven't progressed to that stage yet. Let me know how it goes with yours.
EDIT: Not sure what's up with the rotated pics, I've never had that happen before and I've posted many pics. Hopefully you'll still get the idea.
Yes, it's 1.5". I got it from Abyzz via Coralvue. Had to buy 1 meter, only needed about 8".where did you find the “very difficult to find and ridiculously expensive thick walled silicone tubing”? Is it 1.5 inch?
