What type of PVC fittings are supposed to be used for a sump pump? Is it the regular DWV fittings or the ones that are rated for pressure - like the ones used for swimming pools?
Thanks.

Thanks, I've seen both types of fittings used. I guess the pressure from a sump pump is not that great, therefore not requiring the pressure fittings.

It is not pressure as much as flow. The drain fittings give a less restricted flow.
