Thread: A question for the plumbing brains trust.

Perfect for a couple of plumb quicks and a 100 mm length of pipe.
Buy the plumb quicks, measure their length, cut the pipe 2 mm larger than the plumb quick, fit the plumb quick through the cut and slide onto one piece of pipe, do it again and slide the other one the opposite way, cut s piece of pipe to fill the gap and slide the plumb quicks back onto half new half existing, then tighten.
Go and have a beer, and test your work with some water , if all good have another beer or back fill and compact in 150 mm layers.
Your now done so you've earned yourself a

Do it properly, do it once.

If you are having trouble digging the hole deeper you might need a crow bar. Alternatively you can put some water in the hole and turn the dirt to mud. it is messier but much softer....

Job's done, the biggest issue was backfilling the hole and redigging to place a whiteant observation tube in the hole, then repaving.
