Key Features

- Locking brackets to maintain position after adjustment
- Compatible with standard 1.5 and 2 inch PVC pipe
- Corrosion-resistant and freeze-tolerant materials
Target Users: Homeowners with sump pump discharge lines affected by soil settling, frost heave, or concrete expansion, typically in northern climates with freeze-thaw cycles.
Revenue Model: $39.99 per unit retail, with a subscription option for annual inspection reminders and replacement parts
