Proper Pipe Installation

[@montysavage8721]

Why wouldn't they make it to where it would stop where it should be?? What's the reasoning??

Good question, perhaps to allow for field conditions having the MIN. & MAX. variance might provide a degree of installation flexibility? But a response here, would be nice.

If the spigot had a definitive stop built into the bell, that connection by design becomes a lot less flexible. It no longer allows for deflection in the joint which can be utilized during construction to keep your pipe aligned or on target. Within allowances of course. Also shifting soils or poor compaction can stress that joint. Having the gasketed and flexible joint allows this to still function. This is a more versatile and superior design. It does require some skill by the contractor/installer though. Hope that helps.
