It's a French drain and used to divert water in low areas. He just put in an extention to the gutters so it doesn't pool in the yard.

[@Tannertraversed]

For non pressurized lines what you did and were taught is OK but for us Irrigation guys the thought of not using purple and adding excessive glue only leads to blow outs when zone testing is done. When you first learn to weld it generally looks sloppy, if you learn to apply primer and glue efficiently it looks very professional with no mess at all. Purple primer also softens the pvc for a better fit. We always use the applicator (held by stem not cap) to measure and apply primer and glue exact length of connections or next PVC length fitting. If you apply the proper amount and spin pipe in joint when connecting you will get a perfect bead around entire fitting. Pipe fitters using galvanized or steel do not need purple primer as it's for pvc or abs only. I understand where you grandfather comes from. Great video Mike!

[@eugenementz3195]

He used primer, just not the purple used for inspectors. Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be inspected so it’s fine.

[@CertifiedJunkie]

Mike I just want to say awesome job on this! You are always doing quality work, even solo. It’s hard watching guys struggle when doing work solo. I’ve been there. But it’s great seeing you calm and collective no matter the circumstances lol. I’ve got to secret tips to grading/lawn installs. I personally like to float the new soil out a good 6-12” into the grass, the root structure damaged from the removal spreads out a few inches like a shock factor. Also the super super secret tip for sowing in seed it take a plastic or metal rake. (I find plastic better) and flip it over. With the teeth facing up, you can use the back of the rake as a little plow to sow the seed in. It works PERFECT. I just walk in up and down in a straight line dragging the rake behind me and it always sows in super nice. Once again boss, awesome job! Hope I could spread some tips to a few.

[@1ClusterChuck]

I'm really happy to have found your channel Mike. Some of your jobs are more in line with what I do and fun to see how you do things.

[@coryputinta]

Hey mike great work but just from 10 years experience, you should have out some gravel down underneath ther pipe also wrapped the pipe in fabric to avoid dirt clogging the pipe up, give it 2 years before that pipe gets clogged and your ripping it back up, again not trying to bash you're work because you are an extremely hard worker i just dont want to see you waste money and time!

Great job Mike. Do you know why the primmer is purple? It’s so plumbing inspectors know you used it. It’s that simple lol.

[@looniebinn]

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I always heard they use the purple/blue color that way there's proof that primer was in fact used. Otherwise people would lie and things wouldn't seal correctly causing problems down the road.

[@joealesia2488]

That’s correct. The purple primer was so that plumbing inspectors could see it was used. Rule of thumb wa always 1 inch beyond the fitting ending.

[@rtsolution11]

Also pipe laid where the description (lettering) is up, or out for quick pipe id by any inspector.

[@frandome]

Question...why would you not roll the fresh loam with a roller? Otherwise, very nice and clean job.

[@markdavis2316]

Purple primer is code in the twin cities. It doesn't look bad if you're careful and apply the right amount. Some guys apply 2-3 inches up the pipe, put purple fingerprints all over it and then spill half the can on the floor. Lol, you can lead a horse to water.

[@JettaTDI2005]

Hey Mike. Is purple primer required by code? Although ASTM F 656 only recommends that PVC primer be purple, this is a code requirement. The purple coloring is intended to allow the installer and the inspector to verify that the required primer has been applied. But if you do not have to need an inspection than Clear is good to go .

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

That was a wye, not a tee. Steam fitters weld mostly on ships, Plumber's install pipe and repair plumbing systems. Purple primer is only needed if it's getting inspected so clear primer is the way to go to avoid a messy job. Don't get clear primer and clear cleaner mixed up because they serve different purposes. Clear primer preps the pipe and fitting for glue, while clear cleaner cleans dirt and debris off of the pipe and from the fitting. So if the pipe is dirty you clean with clear cleaner, prime with clear primer and then put your glue on. You can buy one step glues but the pipe and fitting still have to be cleaned or sanded if they aren't new or clean.

[@SirSmokesAlott]

stone/gravel should go under the pipe, and dirt on top. the grass won't grow very well on top of that stone without a good 4-6 inches of soil above it. If it does grow at all, it'll always have a stripe above the yard from the stone as well. not trying to be negative, just trying to be helpful.

[@AMWSERVICESLLC]

Thanks. But there is stone under the pipe and I have around 5 inches of dirt above the gravel it’s hard to get a good perspective from a video

[@trainofthough0242]

Plumber here. Unfortunately in many states it's code that you must use purple primer. Reason being so inspectors can visually see if all the joints have been primed. It looks terrible but we got to use it for inspected work.

Hey Mike, I think at 18:20 you are using pipe cleaner and a clear glue. No pipe primer. Some glues are different than others, but I rarely use pipe cleaner unless it's old pipe or old fittings.

Interesting setup. My parents had a somewhat similar problem. They fixed it years ago by drilling 3 holes like 10ft down at the end and putting in the biggest pipe in they could get, filled it with bigger river rock. It was on the back of the house tho and the patio would always flood from heavy rain. But that fixed it entirely. You have to check if that is legal tho, because it might be a problem feeding rainwater into groundwater or something - if I remember correctly.

[@hdpro66]

😂😂😂 I might be going waay out of my way here, but you do know where groundwater comes from, right?!?

[@Deutschehordenelite]

@@hdpro66 I do, yea sounds silly at first, but normal ground water gets filtered though the sediment layers and by putting in gravel pipes you are essentially bypassing that filter and potentially containing ground water. So you have to be careful with that

I think you would have been better off putting a trench plug with the soil you dug from trench so water less likely to follow the french drain back to the house inside the trench.

He died before I got to know him unfortunately. I love to lay pipe.
