Question
I live in a flat cookie-cutter neighborhood with backyards that back up one-to-another.  I have a two-foot long PVC sump pump pipe that sticks out the side of my house.  I would like to bury it so that I can get the water further away from the house.

What kind of PVC bends can I put in the pipe?  I feel like a 90-degree elbow would be too severe of a turn and may cause water to back into the pipe.  Should I go with a 45 degree bend?

I figure I would bury the pipe about 15 to 20 feet from the house and end the pipe in some underground bucket with holes and gravel.  Are there kits sold commercially that include what I'm describing?

Thank you.

Answer
Be very careful where you put water.  It never behaves in the way we expect it to.  But since you already have the pipe near the house, you should be OK to move it further away.  Its always best to avoid sharp bends in drain piping.  I would suggest using fairly large pipe both to avoid clogging and to reduce the pressure that the drain water will have coming out of the pipe.  Another solution would be to use the corrugated drain pipe for most of the project.  It comes in 3 and 4 inch diameter.  As for the drain well, make it big.  Dig a hole 3 feet by 3 feet and fill it with large washed rock.  For commercial products, try something like this:
