hunter valves are fine but what i don't like them compared to Rainbiards is that the female threaded parts of the hunter valves are kinda weak and thin comapred to the rainbird's one which are very thick and beefy
My pvc that is in the inlet out outlet side seems a LOT less thick and seems to break very easy when trying to cut. Is the inferior pvc pipe that I need to look out for??
Wouldn't you need a new coupler if it needs a new valve later since you glued it? A nipple would be better so you can just screw in the new valve right?
I just replaced a large rainbird filter with a new one and theres a tiny bead of wate coming out of the seam that goes down the middle. whats the best product or thing to do to remedy?

Yes
what is the name of the coupler you use at the 3:29 mark?
PVC slip union
So one of the original grey tubes attached to the valves has a thread right? So I can just cut it? Is this ok?
Yes
Your gluing is a little bad looking but it's OK good work.
can u explain I think my gluing is lacking, I always make a mess with vertical pipes.
@meegssan5716 well add primer and glue always both pipes. I always use a wet rag to clean the dripping look clean as possible. Pretty much it. 🤷♂️
Is that called a compression coupling?
Yes
Do you use Teflon tape to attach the the threaded side to the valve?
Thank you.
Yes I do
@@mrramsescanfixit5917 but you didn't in this video.
Why switch to Rain Bird? Aren't Hunters better?
They are both good brands
There no preference just getting the job done
