Good job on those union fittings and great information man.
Would it have been easier to just use two 1-1/2 in. PVC MPT x Slip Socket Flush Union Fitting on the valve and just run them to the pvc?
Perfect job. Nice!
Thank you for the demo, love it.
Great job. Very helpful
great instructions, best I have seen Thank you
Nicely done I’m about to try this now for the near future
Wow!.This video is very well made. Great job!
Thanks man... great job!!!!
The background music is smooth and not overpowering the video. Keep pushing it to the limit. Been spreading your channel around, you need more views. I love this type of stuff
thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!
Yup. Love the lo-fi vibe
Clean install man
Great job
$100 plus parts thank you very much
Do you have to use a union on either side of the valve? Or do you think you could thread one end of the valve in and finish with a single union? Thanks!
Wished I would have watched this before changing my sprinkler valve way easier
what schedule are you union fittings, 40 or 80? even your pvc?
have a richdel valve looks similar to that it doesn't have those connections. I want to replace it wondering if I can just turn and screw it off as both sides are threaded would that work if I dig below it?
Very nice work! Wanting to use unions on my installs. Where can I get them? Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! you can get lucky at home depot, but I would suggest an irrigation store like siteone or imperial sprinkler supply.
Those unions look like Spears CPVC unions? They have both slip and threaded unions. I’ve found them on Amazon. A little pricey, but they last. Very nice work and attention to detail. 👌🏽
Excellent instructions
What brand / type of union are you using ? Is it schedule 40? Made for pressure?
Not sure if you still need this information, but that’s schedule 80.
@@reAllyNoWayyytodo color gris pipa y cualquier parte es sch 80
Never really thought to use unions on repairs... I use the bell end method or slip fix or the old school leverage and couplings when you can. If anything it makes sense to do that on our commercial properties.. outstanding my guy! Your the first video of many that I have actually learned something. Great job on that repair btw. 12" boxes are reall nice to work with lol.
Definitely slip-fix is the way
Another way to do it is cut a small piece off the lateral side, unscrew the valve, replace with a new valve, add a compression coupling to old adapter and reconnect with lateral pipe. Same thing less work.
@@reAllyNoWayyy true but eventually the seal will leak, same goes for slip fixes. Maybe not within the warranty period but nothing beats a solvent weld.
@@noeeon9910 seals will eventually leak on unions as well. At least with compression couplings there’s no wait time (I.e. letting glue cure and dry) you can test it for leaks as soon as you tighten.
@@reAllyNoWayyy true again, that's why unions are good for maintenance on large valves. Never thought to use them on repairs. But wait time has never been an issue.. you really don't have to wait 25mins for the solvent weld to cure. Especially if using products like turf tight. But if compression fittings are working for you go for it..
What’s the name of that coupling with the gasket oring. ? Size or name please. ? Thank you in advance
How did you make that last cut on your main without cracking the pipe? It was a thin cut! Looks like the pipe is 200....No?
Adding primer softens the pipe..
How to change the controller on the irrigation system?
Just curious why didn’t you use 1” nipples instead of building male adapters with pvc in them? Wouldn’t it be one less step
By just gluing Union to nipple and creating a male adapter with about 1” cut off nipple? Just curious. Thanks
what is the part number to the replacement valve
What’s the best way to cut class 200pvc
the best way, with a cut-off wheel. zero risk of breaking the pipe, if you use standard pipe cutters, go slowly and make sure to spin the cutters on the pipe to assist with the cutting. if you go to fast the pipe will just snap
ShrubGator thanks I’ll try it out my regular Milwaukee pvc cutter shatters the old 200 pvc pipe
Helps to add primer to your pipe where it will be cut, it will soften the pipe.
When using pvc cutters on a thin pipe like sch 20 apply pressure when cutting and as soon as you feel the blade inside the pipe roll your pipe cutter around the pipe to make like an outline cut around the pvc, the more you apply pressure and roll your cutters the easier the blade will go through the pvc without cracking and eventually you will have a clean cut.
purple primer sucks, use clear primer if available. Blue pvc cement sucks too, it's thick and spreads inconsistently. Use a good quality clear cement. Preferably not Oatey's.
Im irrigator tech this my opinion.. if you work for a company they want production (money) i think the easy & faster way.. just cut both sides & use a slip fix🤷♂️
100% agree. I’ve worked for landscape companies and irrigation companies. The landscape company’s only care about fix it fast, move on. Working for irrigation companies, you can take more time, make it really nice because that’s the whole product. But yes, most landscapers don’t care how nice the fix is, they just want fast. However, because the irrigation companies take more time and use nicer material they can justify a higher cost 💲 for the repair so they make more money. Landscapers are fast but do everything cheap so they have to chase their profits.
Why don't you just replace the guts
You forgot to prime it at 5:38.
I hate unions.
Slip-fix (short repair) works great as long as you extend it all of the way. Another method is when you have a 90 before the valve you do the 90 last.
Maybe I just need more experience using unions but I don't like them.
Great video but I don't want to invest in all these tools/materials to replace one valve.
One word here. Ditch those gloves. Get dirty . Makes for a more satisfying repair when it's done. Soft hands are a no-no in service repair work.
The lazy way
