8. Next, take the prepared 33" tubes with the caps
and verify that each cap is installed at the end
of the tube closest to the first drain hole.
9. Attach the tubes to the manifold stack. Coat
outside of tube end and inside of cross fitting
with PVC primer and cement and insert end into
an open socket of cross fitting.
NOTE:
Verify that the drain holes of each tube
are pointing up. If the 12' fodder channels are
resting on the fodder frame, slide these back
and away from the drain manifold tubes until the
PVC cement has dried.
Adjust tubes as needed before PVC cement
sets up. Also,
before cement sets
, slightly lift
cap end of tube to create a minor slope toward
center stack. This will help water drain from
horizontal tubes.
10. Repeat until all horizontal drain tubes are
installed.
