Standpipe flow?

That would work just fine for your application. Just remember to include a ball valve somewhere along the way, since you won't need the full power of the 1262. Excellent pump choice--you won't be disappointed with it.
 
where can i get a ball valve that will work with this application? is that something i can get at home depot, or will i have to order that online?
 
You should be able to find it just fine at Lowe's or Home Depot--whichever is more convenient. I know my local Lowe's has more plumbing parts, etc. than any of the local Home Depots. If you are in a bind on finding the right pieces, you can order them online. What you'll need will vary with what sort of plumbing material you decide to use.
