Fun for tomorrow.

2", I have a hunch it has not been winterized, ever, though the lack of primer, glue, makes me wonder. I'm going to give them a manual drain and a iso valve. I hope it does not go 'sproing' when I cut that tee free. :dizzy: I will check the brand of that tee; it might have needed a thrust block or a smoother transition with 45s to make the connection. It is the low-point of the system.

:hammerhead:

Must have some serious pressure to need a thrust block, what psi do you usually need or see those on?

150 psi here; that's a dead-end main line, thrust block and proper gluing + winterizing might have helped. That's just a bad practice to throw the main into the tee.

Is that at a golf corse?

i would try to have put the flospan on one of the arms of the T. and then block the back side of the T.

throw some rocks in the hole and they have a new water feature.

Is that a bell on the right side of the tee? GL Mike. Looks like a lot of "fun". I know you won't be using a slip fix/flow span, so will be good to see what the final repair looks like.

[Mike Leary]

I thought originally the main came in from the right side of the tee, wrong, it comes in from the middle. The tee in the middle goes to a 1" q.c. which gets re done, too. The tee at the top goes to two zones and terminates. The site is a County Courthouse.
No slip fix, no unions, all 90s, and 45s if it goes south when I cut it free today.

[Mike Leary]

Fixed it this morning, was able to add a iso valve and re-do the q.c.

[Dripit good]

Nice double boot shot....work looks good too. Gonna support your q.c. somehow?

Gonna have to do something; prolly a couple of sticks of re-bar & hose clamps.

[Dripit good]

That's exactly how we do it. Was wondering if there was a different way.

[Mike Leary]

I like to spot a q.c. in a 10" round and pour conc to the bottom and just below the q.c. In this case, I had no option other than re-bar. I like the RB two-piece since the seal can be serviced without replacing the entire assembly.
