Thoughts on the overflow plumbing into Trigger 34 Sump.

1” pipe split into two 1” drains.

Thoughts on the shutoff valve. Should the union be above or below?

Too many unions on the split ?

Specific flow direction for the union plumbing ?

Drain plumbing doesn't like to encounter a 90' bend or level pipe. It will significantly reduce your flow I think. I used a wye and then went with flexible tubing to keep the flow downward and sloping.

I think the union should be below the shutoff, so you can shutoff, and pull the entire lower assembly.
 
I can’t find a 1” wye , dealing with small room plus metric conversion plumbing to schedule 40
 
FlexPVC is sometimes your friend. Not sure if they have one, but they have so many crazy fittings....
