One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating a need to construct a series of elbows, pipes, couplings and valves, typically needed to install a pump into a basin or pit. The methods and systems described herein may allow an installer of such a system to install the unit at a variety of heights; and may allow the installer to use a variety and multiple materials for guiding the pump into the basin or pit. The system may comprise a guide secured in the pit, and a cradle assembly secured to the guide at a desired height. A pump coupler can be secured to a pump, and slid into the cradle to fluidly couple the pump with a discharge pipe attached to the cradle assembly.
