Thanks for the info! We love rainbird products!
thanks for this video. I just did it myself and save a lot of money.....
@RainJetSprinklers
The unions on the 100DVFUU are on the valve, so it makes maintenance on the valves in a manifold a breeze especially if a valve needs to be removed and replaced.
This video is very helpful! I didn't even know about winterizing the water drainage system.

Haven't really had a problem with dressers. As long as their isn't too much pressure, and the dresser is tight enough.
Could this be applicable to irrigate rice plant?
A couple of things. Instead of using a dresser tee to tie into the main line, I would use a PVC slip tee SXSXS and a quick fix coupling. That way I'm getting glue joints on all the connections where I cut into the main line. I've seen water pressure drive off a dresser tee as shown in the video, especially if the pipe can move at all or you are dealing with high water pressures. Rain Bird also sells a great union valve for manifolds (RB 100DVFUU), I'm surprised they weren't used in this video.
Exactamundo! I wouldn't use a compression fitting to tap in to the supply line either.
Wow what a great video I enjoyed it.
take those extra 3 inches and install unions. you should install a seperate service box, with a backcheck, shutoff and hose bib. I only use clear products now but I like the way your guys clean pipes. its a very old video but thats my input.

@iScaper1 I agree, those dresser fittings scare the hell out of me. Around me we are lucky enough to not have that many PVC mainlines, most are copper. In this case I would solder a fitting and it would NEVER fail. I've never used those the 100DVFUU but I do like manifolds and unions.
شكرا.
if you are looking at this to learn pay close attention to 6:50 make sure you leave from 4 to 6 inches of pipe on either side of the valve. if that male adaptor has to be replaced you will have room to do so. also if you can DONT USE threaded valves male adaptors are the weakest fittings prone to breaking right at the threads. best way to use a threaded valve is sch 80 nipples cut and glued to couplings. particularly on larger valves. good luck
this look so complex... all I was thinking get a 3 4 HP pump then the PVC pipeing connections with those things that the water comes out here and there or where ever I need to water then connect water supply to the water pump and connect the PVC to the pump and there u go... now this is with codes and wires and stuff what is all that for...?
the conection on the main water line is not the correct one will leak
In most cities, the compression fitting used is illegal and is known to leak in a short period of time
Wow
Do I need an anti siphon valve for each zone? Or just one for the entire system? Lowe’s told me I need just one, and then a solenoid for each zone but Tampa codes require back flow prevention.
Dual check where you tie into the main and then a valve for each zone
What's glue is this? Please, tell me somebody
If you can't find metal stucco lath, use carbon-fiber stucco lath!
What price range does contractor charge to build a 5 zones system?
goosecouple i charge about 5 to 8,000 grand
What is the name of the store where you buy the parts for irrigation system?
Edmer Bartolon probably Home Depot
@@dakodayoung1724 My local Home Depot has parts and PVC pipe for,1/2" on up to 1.5".
Wouldnt using non threaded ball valves be better than the threaded ones?

Anybody notice that the guy demonstrating in the video is standing up? They put sod on a bench.
Anybody ELSE get sweaty palms when they saw the copper pipe? mmmm I need money.
"Call the "guy" !
please don't use compression fittings people. I charge $75 an hour to fix it
Joe Shmoe what do you recommend to use ?
@@CV-rj9se glued together or Threaded fittings
Rainbird…I know this information is still accurate but maybe update these videos from the 90’s to make them look more up to date
Thanks for the feedback!
Its not that easy, you might get fustrated with it. And its not cheap either the machine to dig the trench is at least 100 for the day. Hope most people have a landscaping buddy or a pluming buddy to help out thats what i plan to do after this winter is over. Good luck everyone. on the plus side it does add value to your home =)
PVC isn't even used very much anymore, Polyethylene is now used
Where do you live? Poly is almost never used in Florida.
Poly pipe is for zone lines only as it should not be under constant pressure. Pvc should always be used for mainline.
Hallow am Gotfridy. Am very much interested in this kind of irrigation system. I wish to have this kind of irrigation system but don't have money to have one I have enough land and I have so far enough water in a bore hole with enough l amount of water. The best fertile soil am in Africa Tanzania. please help me
Gotfridy Winstin
You have no money? How is anyone supposed to help you?
Lmao at all the safety police in a pvc pipe gluing video... it’s a fucking 20 cent plastic pipe being glued. Chill people...
Why you don't make translation to arabic
I have no experience at all in irrigation, and I'm 18 years old. How do I go about getting a job in irrigation without any skills or experience.
Jordan 33 go to school for plumbing
Go find a job as an irrigation tech at a local full service landscape company or irrigation company. The larger companies will pay for your training to get your license, at least they do here in Texas, though not sure what licensing you need in your area.
1. Don't use a compression fitting to tap into the supply line. Glue it.
2. Don't use a PVC ball valve. The handles break because PVC becomes brittle over time. Use brass.
3. Use glue fittings as often as possible. Threaded fittings = more chances for leaks.
4. If your PVC cutters are leaving a burr, you need to sharpen/adjust them. You shouldn't need sand paper.
5. Glad you used primer on the supply line, but disappointed that you used clear PVC cement.
6. Let the PVC cement cure for a couple of hours before you turn the main water supply back on. Don't expose your glued fittings to pressure right away. This video would make a rookie believe they can turn the main back on immediately after gluing the ball valve.
7. The irrigation wire is suitable for burial, but don't do that...and telling people to tape it to the pipe???? WTF?
8. Threaded fittings - crank them tight. 1½ turns might not be enough. It depends on the fitting.
9. When applying primer/glue to the fittings on the valve, tilt the valve so nothing runs downhill into the valve. Gravity is just a theory, but it works virtually every time.
10. When building a manifold, space the valves 4" - 6" apart. One or more of the valves may fail at some point. Give the repair guy some room to work. Build the manifold on a solid, flat surface. That makes it easier to ensure they're all plumb. Don't 'eye-ball it' - they'll be crooked. Use a piece of wood. You're going to drip primer/glue. It'll stain concrete.
You say don't bury the wire. What then should one do with it? Why is taping the wire to the pipe a bad idea?
First of all, gloves should be worn. Secondly, it's not said why not to use pipe dope versus the teflon tape. Thirdly, the primer and solvent use was sloppy and wasteful; it's better to turn the dobber horizontal at the opening and spin it several times to get off the excess not needed to seal parts and to of course make the product last longer.
Y don't u just put a regular T
Cause it’s booker T can you dig that suckaaaaaaaaa
Doing it yourself may save a little money now but cost you a lot of money later.
this is smack. don't use threaded tees, a normal tee will be just fine. don't double glue, just glue the pipe, not the tee. green glue for mains pressure / running into valves, blue for everything from the valve.
wow, remind me NOT to hire you for any plumbing work!
If you need to hire someone, you obviously don't know what to do
lol-hence the people viewing and commenting on a how to video--as you continue to show your ...
you sir, are a peanut. hence -- a peanut
you are an idiotic troll
This is really not a good idea for folks to do on their own. There is a lot more planning involved. You really need to know about setting up zones, maintaining psi, and water flow(GPM).
Voll geile meile
This video is a joke.... Right?
