[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 2012583, member: 16975"] First off a little background, I rent my home from my Uncle who is a building contractor. The well at the house I'm renting has been sucking sand for a couple of years, and about a month ago, the pump burned out. After discussing the problem with my Uncle, we decided the best course of action was to get hooked up to rural water. So after purchasing a meter, it took them about 3 weeks to get out and do the road bore, and then time to get the trench ( about 450 feet) dug. I need to make the connection to the house, using 2 inch slip joint pipe. I have never used this kind of PVC pipe before so I need to know a few things. 1. What kind of lubricant is used on the joints of pipe? 2. How far into the bell should the next joint of pipe be inserted? 3. At the house, I need to turn a 90 degree turn, to get to the point where the line enters the house. Is it Ok to use 3/4 inch pipe for the last 30 foot or so (3/4 is the diameter of the line entering the home). 4. Should I locate the shut off at the 90, or up closer to the point where it enters the home? I'm going to talk with my Uncle tomorrow about this, but I would like to be armed with a little bit of knowledge first. I'm tired of going to the parents home to take a shower, and hauling drinking water. I'm doing this to expedite the situation. [/QUOTE]
