PVC pipes and risers

What they do

Pipes fit together and run underground to connect the control valves to the sprinkler heads. Risers connect the pipe to the sprinkler heads.

What to look for

Fittings come in different shapes and attach to the pipes to help them turn corners. Purchase fittings that work best in your design.
