I am installing a new Kohler tub and a Kohler Pureflow cable drain. They are available in Sch 40 PVC or brass.
I am wanting to connect my condensate pump up to the pipe coming down from the overflow and was wondering what the best way to do this was. I was planning on crimping a PEX line to the condensate pump. Someone brought up cutting in to the PVC and inserting one of these in the line (PVC tailpiece with a dishwasher connection)

Does this sound like the best idea? Or could I get the brass Pureflow drain and drill a hole in the pipe and install a fitting of some kind? I would just think that where the fitting come in could cause clogging problems. I just wanted to run this idea by the experts before I bought all of these parts and screwed something up. One thing I am concerned about is I don't think those sink tailpieces are the same size as the PVC in the tub overflow drain. Thanks.
