I had made an earlier post about replacing my old single speed pump. I ended up being able to answer most of my questions by researching other posts on this site. One thing that I'm unclear about is the gray pipe that goes into the inlet of my existing pump. I'm assuming that this is CPVC (or some other higher temperature pipe), but I'm not sure. I will likely have to cut this when installing the new one. There is also a spigot (for draining I guess?). I never use it and am wondering if it's okay to remove this. I may have to cut it out depending on how the new pump fits. Is it okay to just use a regular PVC coupling on the CPVC and transition to regular PVC, and will this glue okay with normal PVC solvent? For the inlet and outlet connections, I'll be using unions.
