Gate valve installation - please some guidance

[Geo_6]

Hello fellow hobbyists,

Question A: Where do I need to make the cut of the PVC pipe for the drain to remove Harvey Valve and place the gate valve? Option A or Option B. I have attached a photo.

Question B. Any recommendations on what PVC glue to use? or in general what else may be needed for a strong bond?

Thank you, not a very DIY type of guy so your guidance highly valuable.

Elbow? Gates should be run straight pipe both ends. Plumbers advise

You wanna connect it to the pipe size where you can plumb it in line

Is this regular PVC or cpvc, different cements.

Just did this to mine..red sea e260
Here's a pic
I think it also depends on where and how your gonna run your sump.
An all purpose cement is what I used.
Wished I used a clear primer.. But had people on hand.

Regular PVC I believe

Isn’t the grey stuff cpvc? Or do they make it different colors these days?

No so the thing is I redid the entire plumbing and removed the walls to the filter socks in order to install the filter roller

What have people used to glue PVC pipes with success?
I see in one of the treads PVC cement Oatey (brand)
