The threaded end fit the pump and glue 1 1/2" pvc pipe into the other end 2) Drill a small hole as per instructions on the vertical rise so the pump doesn't airlock3) I would also install a one way valve (check valve) on the vertical rise about $10 or so at Menards..........they are rubber and connected with hose clamps.Should work finethank youBill Sparks **Q: I'm replacing it and it says to drill a 1/8 inch hole on the extraction pipe but my existing one does not have one, do I still need one?** A: The pump itself has airlock protection built in, but nonetheless the instruction manual does still recommend a 1/8" hole be drilled (not far from the pump discharge) to prevent airlock, IF a check valve is being used (most modern sump pump installations do utilize check valves to prevent back-flow). For my particular installation, I do use a check valve so I drilled the 1/8" hole about 1" above the pump discharge on the PVC pipe. Haven't had any issues. **Q: Whatst the difference between this pump and 257-2? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0057gu6tm?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=** A: Cord length. The standard cord is 10 feet long. The pumps with -2 have a 25' long cord. -3 pumps have a 35' cord. -5 pumps have a 50' cord. **Q: I'm having switch issues with my "Z" 53 1/3HP pump so I talked to a Liberty rep today about sizing and he calculated everything and said that I am right at the middle of a 1/3HP (257) and a 1/2HP (287). He went on to say that both will have a tendency to "short cycle" in my situation (not a ton of water other than "100…** A: No way to answer without knowing how many feet of head you have. If "a long way" means 15-20' then go for the 1/2 hp. Up to 10' a 1/3 hp is plenty. If it short cycles it will wear out sooner and leave you unprotected from a flood, so bigger is not always better. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid pump far price *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on 25 August 2024* This was a drop in replacement for the sump pump that the builders put in 6 years ago. It is much quieter and works well. Install was a breeze and the build quality is much better than what it’s replacing. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built, extremely quiet! *by J***. on Reviewed in Canada on 3 May 2016* This sump pump really impressed me. First of all on looks alone this thing stands out as a quality product. You can tell it is very well made in the quality of materials used, it is also quite heavy compared to the first sump I purchased (which died after 1 year of use). The instruction manual is pretty sparse, and there is a good reason for that, its extremely easy to setup and essentially maintenance free. Other than having to trim the ABS pipe shorter (as the discharge on this unit sits higher) it was a very painless install. After using this sump pump for the spring thaw I am very pleased with how it operated, its is so quiet compared to my previous pump that we can barely tell when its running, our previous pump made a terrible racket to the point that we had to shut the door to the utility room or else it would wake our kids up sometimes. The only thing I wish I could change is the float sensor, I have a small sump pit and this pump is so powerful it drains it within seconds, making for a short cycle time. I would prefer letting it leave a bit more water in the pit before pumping out, however they do sell a model with a float switch instead so if this ever needs replacing I will go that route so I can control the water depth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When a piece like this is heavy as it is *by P***H on Reviewed in Canada on 24 March 2016* Wow.... Fabric, materials is impressive.When a piece like this is heavy as it is, it'S proof of quality. Believe me, as soon you unbox the unit, you'll understand.As of the performance.... it's amazingly quiet. My plumbing is about 20ft linear ( many plumbing elbows and about 10ft above the pump ) and it just throw out the water. >>> 3y warranty >>> 5AI also recommend the check valve probably at the bottom of your screen ( I paid 27$ ): Zoeller 30-0181 1-1/2 Inch Check ValveWorks like a charm, easiest thing in the world to install.... ans the quietness ... priceless !! :)Looking for another Liberty pump for my redundant plan ! :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Liberty Pumps 257 pump, gray, 1-1/2" - Zoeller 30-0181 PVC Plastic Check Valve, 1-1/2 Inch - Sump Pump Platform --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/374025536-liberty-pumps-257-pump-gray-1-1-2](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/374025536-liberty-pumps-257-pump-gray-1-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
