I owe you some money. I was thinking about doing this but watching you do it has been a life saver. Thank you.

That was an excellent video! Great job! I watched many and like your straight forward approach. Thank you!

This worked great. Had to cut out an old corroded metal sprinkler on a tee and this contraption works like a dream.

All I can do is give you general advice since I don't know exactly what isn't working on the system. If you replaced the pipe and sprinkler heads are you getting good coverage on all the sprinkler zones? If so and you can only water 2 days a week, then you need to set up the timer to water enough in those 2 days to get the recommended precipitation rates in your area. Generally 1-2" per week is a good rule of thumb which would mean around 2 hours per week for each zone with spray heads.

Why not use snap fitting tee and drill hole (last)

Thx for replying. I just moced into my friend's house. The house im in hasn't use splinkler system for months (almost a year) due to broken pipe. I just replace the pipe and all splinkler heads but the grass are dying. Some area are comletely dead (cracking dirt showing). What should I do?

Ps. Currently we are in water restriction level 2 (sprinkler allows 2 day a week)

We don't have any faux mini-blinds in our home. If we get some I'd be happy to make a video on how to clean them.

The purple you see in the video is primer. It is applied to the pipe first. It softens the pipe, removes the sheen from the pipe, and cleans the pipe for a good chemical bond when the glue is applied. Next I apply the glue which in this case is Red Hot Blue Glue. You glue PVC pipe to PVC fittings using this 2 step process.

Hi could you make a video on how You clean faux wood mini-blinds. Thanks

Perfect! I had to add a sprinkler, went and got one of those slip couplers and it worked, thanks.

Could you share where to purchase the quick fix coupling?

[PoringPoring]

Hey, I've been following your videos for couple weeks now. My question is: what color bottle glue are you are using? purple and green? And is it necessary apply both glue?

[keahi]

News flash: You can avoid having to dig so much, and buying that particular new fitting is more expensive that a saddle fitting. I just added 2 sprinkle heads, 2 saddle fittings $5.00 at Sprinkler world. There are other You Tube videos here about the saddle T fitting.

How long do you think those gaskets will last in that quick fix fitting?

[davidchristie]

Um.. So now you have a pipe extending horizontally out of the section you Tee into. Now what?

[drbinutr]

I have connected a PVC line through T tube to an existing sprinkler line..But no water coming..i wonder why

[magogon]

Stupid of me.never tought i could do that. Awesome tip, great help. Thanks

Hey my guy, instead of expensive slip fixes use bell ends and clear glue.
