Hey,
I have an RS5-2, similar to the CS80 as far as I know...
Parts:
1 PVC Gate Valve (1.25")
1 PVC Tee (1.25")
1 90d Elbow (1.25")
1.25" PVC pipe
AceHardware can usually custome order PVC Gate valves by KBI, if you have one locally.
because of the way my sump is set up, I ended up taking out the sch 80 pvc after the elbow on the skimmer's exit and replaced it w/ some sch 200 that was 3/4 the length, this allowed me to skim much dryer, but may not be an issue with you.
Also, no need to glue anything, I dry fit all the fittings with no problems thus far.
hth,
Matt
