can tiger pipe be PVC glued into PVC pipe?

Not sure its real name, but its a plastic, clear rigid-flexible 1.5" hose with white plastic ribbing. I believe I have seen sump rooms with this hose glued inside a slip of PVC to then continue plumbing in solid PVC. Is this proper? As in, will it hold to the rigid PVC with a 1700 gph return blasting through it? Thanks.

I've never seen flexible clear PVC pipe. Spaflex is a brand of white flexible PVC tubing. It can be glued in standard PVC fittings.

Is there a reason you need clear tubing? In general, clear tubing is a disadvantage because light entering the tubing can lead to algae growth.

I want to slice those two 1.5" hoses just above the red frame and do from that point down in PVC rigid pipe.

Its a friggin mess and I want to make it nice and clean with manifolds etc. I'm just not sure what to use to connect PVC to that clear white ribbed hose.

Standard barbed fittings will work fine. Find a couple slip/thread connectors of the right size at your local HD/lowes

Barbed fittings are the way to go
