9. InSTAll PVC MAInlInE PIPE
Starting from the Water Source Connection lay and
connect the PVC pipe going to the manifolds (see
“Working with PVC” in the appendix of this guide for
additional information).
As the mainline passes in front of a manifold
complete the following steps to connect the mainline
to the manifold as shown. Cut the water source pipe
about 2" past the wall of the manifold hole. Prime and
glue the PVC coupling, elbow, and tee to sections
of PVC pipe. Carefully measure the sections of pipe
before you prime and glue. Then prime and glue the
coupling to manifold and the tee to water source
connections at the same time. Adjust the two joints
such that the PVC pipe lays flat in the bottom of the
trench and the manifold sits level and is lined up to
the outlets on the valve box platform.
If two manifolds need to be placed immediately
next to each other follow the instructions above for
the first manifold and then prime and glue the two
manifolds using two PVC couplings and a length of
PVC pipe.
After each manifold prime and glue PVC pipe into
the open connection on the tee and continue to the
next manifold.
Connect the last manifold on the mainline as shown.
Follow the instructions above but instead of a tee
you will use an elbow.
It is important that the mainline pipe be as deep as
possible in the trenches in order to provide room for
the pipes coming from each valve to the sprinkler
zones.

Starting from the Water Source Connection lay and
connect the Blu-Lock Pipe or Poly Pipe going to
the manifolds (see "Working with Poly" in the
appendix of this guide for additional information).
As the mainline passes in front of a manifold
complete the following steps to connect the
mainline to the manifold as shown. Cut the water
source pipe about 2" past the wall of the manifold
hole.
