WTF is this? Speed-plumbing?
Tip: remove the how-to on your video description. Having a camera-view from far away without explaining anything you're doing is not a how-to.

Sigh. All these guys that think they are irrigation wizards comment stuff like "you shouldn't have thin wall sticking out of the grass." Well, duh.
It is showing is how to quickly fix your PVC while waiting for the landscaper to break it again.
Should it be an 1812 PRS SAM? Sure. And once it is fixed the lawn guy will break it again because the owner is too cheap to have it repaired correctly.
Listen, just because you notice PVC risers in the grass, that doesn't mean you pass your IACID test.

1st....no primer!!!!!!2nd is that his ass or the cutters makin that noise..and most of all why in the hell would u put a "riser", if that crap is suposed 2 be 1, in a spot where a pop-up should be...u need 2 smoke another 1!!!
=P
Primer is not necessary when gluing 1/2' pipe, even when using clear glue. In which in this case I'm Turf Tite wet/dry. Primer would have increased the reaction in chemical solvent to a detrimental point.
The client was removing the grass and installing some shrubs. He declined installing an 1812.
As to whether it was my ass or the cutters making the noise, it might have been both!
