How to fix cracked reticulation piping?

This is probably a straightforward question, so apologies but I'm new to reticulation so I'm not sure where to start.

 

It looks like someone has driven over a part of the reticulation and as a result there is a crack (pictured). I can see a Ratchet Clamp holding two of the pipes together but I'm not sure what the part that's actually broken is called and therefore how to replace it. The bit that is cracked seems to be attached to a circular black disc beneath it, but again I'm also not sure what that is and if that also needs to be replaced.

 

Thanks for your adviceIMG_3899.jpgIMG_3898.jpgIMG_3897.jpg

Re: Tips on fixing some cracked reticulation piping?...

Hello @cyberbash 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your damaged reticulation piping.

 

I'm going to have to ask you to dig further into the soil in order to reveal what the entire part looks like. It appears to be a standard 90-degree elbow that is on some sort of standing plate that prevents it from moving. It could also be a plug end with a footing. Either way we'll need to see the entire structure in order to tell what it is. Once you have it out of the ground, please take a photo and post it here. We can then do a search for the part that's been damaged.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
