Thin wall drip line/tape → buried PVC/PE submain

How to connect

When using thin wall drip lines / tapes, and connecting to buried submains, a riser is often used between the submain and the drip lateral.

Connection of the drip lateral to the riser is simply by using the appropriate connector – usually a PE (barbed) to drip tape/drip line connector.

The connection of the riser to the PVC submain is the same process as per the Heavy wall drip line/LDPE → PVC/PE submain section.
