Supply lines: final branches 1/2" pvc
Drain lines: 2" ABS (1 1/2" would work fine but 2" is more available, fittings easier to find in that size).

I just use 1" but it's because my pump is so powerful that if I were to use a larger diameter PVC the water would drain too fast.  Every tank wound be half empty even before I was finished vacuuming the bottoms.
Always move forward. Never look back.
