Which pipe to use for underground Irrigation system?

Hi there. I have to get bit information regarding the pipe / connectors used underground for sprinklers. 

I have installed the Holman sprinklers. I have used the attached connectors / joint and pipe.

 

kindly advise if the material used is fit for purpose or should I replace pipe/ connectors before laying the turf. 

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Re: What pipe to use for underground Irrigation system?

Hi @Mo2,

 

The setup you've created there is typically something seen above ground. That sprinkler is designed to be pushed into the soil with the spike only, and garden hoses are used above ground. Theoretically, this setup could work for many years, but the products you've used are not designed for this purpose. Creating an underground system is a little more involved, but here's a helpful guide: How to install pop-up sprinklers. Also, here's the Pope guide for installing pop-up sprinklers.

 

Please have a look at the guides above and let me know if you have any questions.
