Re doing my plum on my 120

Yes make sure to use the nice tru-union ball valves (a little more upfront cost but you’ll thank yourself later), use larger drain plumbing than return, get threaded (in bottom) and slip up top bulkheads, try to avoid sharp 90° elbows to make the water flow a bit quieter, dry fit everything first before cementing and use hose and flared fitting to connect pump to pvc

Actually after checking the link agin looks like they jacked up the price due to a backorder. They were like $7 a few weeks ago when I ordered..

If cost is not a concern use gate valves. Super easy to tune your system. I was going to do ball valves on my 120 but I am now glade I went with the gate valves. This is just my opinion. They both work either way.

Get a check valve too for your return, im glad I did. It allows me to submerge my return outlets deeper without worrying about overflowing my sump.

Also i did gate valves as well and here are the ones I used. They are very reasonably priced. Way easier to adjust when doing the herbie plumbing method

And you can buy the unions to attach to them if you truly want all union valves. I only made my return section gate valves unions

I snagged everything off of amazon, was cheaper than other places. The quality of the pieces compared to the stuff I found at Home Depot was way better as well.

Plus...colors.
