Install valve Boxes and BaCKfIll tRenCHes Once you have verified there are no leaks install all the valve boxes for the system and backfill the trenches. When backfilling trenches make an effort to ensure there are no large rocks resting on or against the pipes and fittings. - Page 27 WORKING WITH POLY PIPE Orbit Sprinkler System Designer specifies Poly Pipe for all mainline pipe and connections after the source connection up to and including the valve manifolds (the valves control water flowing to the individual areas or "zones" in your yard).

While Poly pipe, fittings and joints are well-suited to the constant-pressure environment of the mainline - which is typically about 10-20% of the total pipe in your system - Blu-Lock is ideally suited for all sprinkler zone pipes (those going out from the valve manifold) because it is fast to install, flexible, has a very long useful life, is clean to produce, and is recyclable.
