Assembling Irrigation or Sprinkler System Pipes

So now that we’ve got our trenches clean or fairly clean we’re just about ready to start laying our pipe out. So generally we’ll begin to lay the pipe out and put it right on top of the ground and put an end in. We’re using bell end pipe in this particular case, so we’ll lay that on top of the ground so it’s easier to glue. And once you get it laid out and ready to glue use your cleaner, your PVC cleaner and clean the bell end real well and then you clean the insert end also. And then depending on the temperature that day you’ll have to wait a little while to allow that cleaner to dry. It usually takes a few seconds in warm weather. We are using quick dry glue in this case, which is a blue in color, so we can make sure we get a good even coat. Be liberal with your glue and when you put it in you insert and twist. So then when you’re ready to put your T’s in you just cut your length of pipe and use the same method to glue that in.
