Q. How to install a PVC tee?

Answer

Here are the instructions:1. Remove the protective covering from the PVC pipe so the tee may be inserted.2. Since there is a wide variety of sizes available for PVC saddle tee fittings, a user will want to make sure a user has the right one for the pipe a user is using.3. Use a rag and some sandpaper to smooth down the pipe where the saddle tee will be installed.4. Saddle tees require PVC adhesive at the point of contact with the pipe. When working with PVC, it's best to glue the fitting to the pipe as well as the pipe to the fitting. 5. Snap one side of the tee onto the pipe, then press it on the rest of the way.6. Drill into the pipe by inserting the bit into the tee's aperture. Don't drill all the way through the pipe's walls.7. After the hole has been drilled, a user can flush out any leftover PVC parts by turning on the sprinkler valve and installing the riser without the sprinkler head.8. The last step is to fill in the hole after the sprinkler head or sprinkler valve has been installed.
