    It's like those trucks in India and the Philippines where they have "just enough" stuff on the truck that it will still drive, but way more than it was ever intended to be loaded with.

    This was suppose to be 2 loads but we turned it into one. There is a concrete barrier on the other side of the pipe. We emptied some parts that were on the pallet inside the pipe. There are water hoses underneath the pallet and trench parts on the rear. I talk too much lol

    Green Pipe,
    That piece is hub and gasketed, Use liberal amounts of pipe lubricant on the gasket, then push together. A cut end must be beveled before insertion so it goes through the gasket nicely and doesn't damage the gasket. Typically used for sewer or drainage work.

    That the piece of pipe you are carrying, it's SDR 35 (I would guess, it might be 21) it's sewer pipe. The blue stuff that looks like it (but isn't) is water line usually C-900. Then the regular PVC that's usually white is generally schedule 40. Most people think PVC is PVC until the try to put the different styles together.

    Fun when doing remedial work and you need to make a good reliable connection between two different kinds of pipe, isn't it!!!
    And no a Furnco is not a good reliable connection!!

    Ductile iron to c-900 not a big deal but either of those to a wood stave pipe is a pain. Heck anything to wood stave pipe is a pain. The main coming out of the reservoir looked like a porcupine. Every time someone would go up there and find a leak they would cut a piece of willow and pound it into the hole.

    Wood stave! Now there's something you don't see out this way anymore at all!

    Fernco's make great reliable connections-so long as your version of reliable means that it doesn't burst right away and like 80/85% transfer is all you're looking for lol

    How about when someone orders 180' of heavy ductile 24" and someone else delivers class 52 and them someone else (ME) had to go drop the right stuff and figure out how in the #### to load those 10 sticks of heavy class back up on the truck using only the truck, a come along and a stout tree branch??? I could have spent that Saturday doing so many better things. I still remember that like it was last week.

    Lots of old wood stave BIG pipe when I was in the watershed.
    Excavator + abandoned wood stave = slinky-on-a-stick.
