We have a dying septic tank that needs to be tied into the township sewer. It's about a 250 foot run to the sewer and, with the fall, we're about 3 feet deeper than the gravity main. The only option left is to go with a sewage pump. This would be for a 3 full bathroom house plus a 1 bathroom...

What about putting a valve onto the 7/16" tubing? Should I be able to find a valve to fit the 7/16" tube if I cut it? The other side of the valve would need to attach to the flex line for the toilet.

More pictures... I have some pictures to help with the scale... The chrome pipe you see is 3/8" chromed iron pipe. I assumed the tube to the toilet was 3/8" OD, but it looks closer to 7/16". I also attached a close-up of what looks to be the riser tube soldered into the pipe coming out of...

I'm replacing an old water guzzler toilet from the 50's and ran into a water connection that I haven't seen before. It has a normal 3/8 supply tube with a plastic nut on the tank, but the bottom looks like it's either soldered or screwed into the floor. It's round and there is no compression nut...
