Irrigation pink tubing cut
My wife was moving plants and apparently hit the pink water irrigation line with the shovel and now it has a large split in it causing a major water leak.
I am not sure how much dirt got into the tubing so I am in need of a professional to repair it. Anyone have any suggestions. I thought about cutting it and adding a new section myself but as I said not sure how much dirt got into the line and where it ended up...hopefully not in the solenoids. |
It's purple and just PVC.meaning non potable white PVC is the same.2 couplings and blue glue a length of pipe a hack saw blade remove the heads repair the pipe turn it on flush and replace the heads.If it's not leaking now she hit it after the valves.

You also can repair using a slip joint.
Ask at Ace Hardware. Google pvcslipjoint to see how it works. |
You could look at this as two separate problems. The first is the broken pipe. I would fix it myself. The second is dirt might clog up the sprinkler heads. Turn on and test. Then if you need help get it.
