wrt trenching, this is some of the softest soils I've ever seen.

Awesome informational video! I had called my city and representative treated me that is was absurd to ask city employee to mark of gas, plumbing or electric. You provided the 811 and representative there very helpful and grateful I called vs digging and hoping.

During the pandemic, I almost applied for a sprinkler company because they were hiring installers. I watched this video, wich was new back then, and of course I didn't apply. Brutal work.

I’ve been doing irrigation for 30 years now and one thing I can’t stand is fixing a leak and it’s the bottom pipe. When that happens you usually have to cut the top pipes to the bottom pipe and agter you fix that one you have to go back and fix the top ones. Lay the pipes side by side as it makes it much easier.

I wish my soil looked that good. I have red clay mixed with concrete and rocks thanks to the construction crews here in NC.

Nice video. Try putting the spoils on tarps. It's a lot cleaner and easier than scratching the spoils out of the grass. I flush my lines out before I put the heads on. I put the nozzles in all the heads on my tailgate. It's a lot easier. And you only have to get on your knees once

Sir, during deck construction on my backyard, the broke a sprinkler line and wires but then fixed them joining the pipe and wires.
However, after that one of the Zone 8 is not working. All other zones from 1 to 10 except 8 is working.
What you think is causing this problem? Please advise

This is very helpful I work for Rain Bird irrigation it is very helpful

[kevinm]

Very nice! I'm thinking about trying this project myself but there is so much to know.

I enjoyed watching your installation this crew dug the trenches with only shovels 😎👍😮🤩

[beansgas]

WOW. This is how it was done 20+ years ago. Been using flex for a number of years now. Rent a small machine to push the flex tube in the ground. No need to dig, except for the heads and fittings.

This is a good video, if h/o tries to use this advise I can see future repair work for service techs. That's why I love videos like this, it creates a lot of work :)

[gavinwu]

Should the tech test run the system before covering it up with dirt and sod? Make sure there is no leaks

[cspill]

I have old copper piping ran for my wiring encase. Is it possible to run the wire through the soldered pipes. I'm thinking the issue would be the 90 degree turns. Any suggestions or should I just bury it? How deep?

[johnnykuz]

Good video but the trenching by hand cracks me up. Here in SW Colorado with hard, dry, sun baked clay soil, you need to rent a trencher to get anything done. For hand digging valve box locations, I use a 5 gal bucket with a spout to drip water onto the area constantly for a few days prior to digging. That softens it up enough for the shovel.

Nicely done great job bro 🎉 ive got the same rain barrel.. what's the fitting for the PVC extension arm? Thanks

[KittyHerder]

It's even better to have a drip system set up for the flower bed, but things are Wet in Houston.

[AzaBC]

Expected solvent welded plumbing to be 1/4 turned and held together for 30 secs before proceeding to next task. Expected pressure/leak test before covering with dirt.

[MVPxKidDMoN]

Just a suggestion, but wouldnt it be better to put the wiring next to or right on the main line for the sprinklers, that way if you run into any problems you can identify which is the mainline and which are zone lines? Also i wish i was in Texas that dirt looks nice to dig ! Im from NewJersey lots of mountains and very rough compacted dirt, sometimes we remove boulders out of the ground, hand-digging here is super rough! We also use poly pipe for zone lines and Pvc for main line only.

Have you ever heard of companies that actually mark the location of the pipes?? It seems like most companies do not bother with thar. Extremely important to know where the pipes are located. it's so ridiculous that so many 0:01 companies don't bury a wire or mark them on a map or something. Anything.
