After you have cut your pipe perfectly and laid it down in the trenches, (trenches should be no deeper than 8 inches deep) you will want to double check all of your pipes to make sure that they are the proper length.
Set up all of your riser that you have chosen. Remember not to glue anything yet. Put everything together to make sure that if you did glue it, it would fit perfectly. Now is the time to double check all of your plans you drew up as well as if you may be missing anything.

You might have some grass in your front yard that has cement separating the sections of grass that you don’t want your sprinkler to miss. If this is the case, dig out where you want it on the separate section of grass. Then, place tap on the end of the pipe that will go through to the other side, and push it over so that it comes out on the other section.
Attach a t-connections to your water supply.
You also want to set up your manifold and major switches, including the emergency shut off valve.
Next, it is time to glue everything in place. You need to use pipe glue. Be careful about which pipe you buy that it specifically says PVC glue on it. When you glue in the pipes make sure that you use enough glue, you don’t want to make sure the pipes are sealed and secure.
After you have set up your entire system, including all the controllers that you want, start it up and give your new system a test. Before you continue you will want to make sure that everything is working properly.
Now that you are done setting up your sprinkler system go ahead and bury all of the pipes. Make sure that when you bury your risers that they are secure and stable.
