Questions & Answers
A 4" PVC SDR35 fitting or a 3" PVC SDR35 fitting can be used with the pop up head.
Simply use a screw (stainless to avoid rust) to secure the object. Common fix: Drill a small hole through the pipe and emitter rim, then secure the emitter to the pipe.
It's been a year since I got mine. It drains a waterlogged low area next to my house through an underground drainpipe that leads from an upgradient catch basin. The popup, which is on a hillslope barely above the soil surface where a grassy lawn grows, does not appear to be causing any erosion. It has the same appearance as the rest of the lawn.
I had a problem installing this yesterday because I was trying to install it over the "regular" diameter of my 3" drainage pipe. I ended up cutting off the wider end piece on a space 45° piece I had that mates over the regular diameter. I caused my problem because I wanted to raise the ground level by 3 inches, so I inserted a piece of cement and it was too late to pull it out when I realized my mistake. Anyway, that saved me from having to go to the HW store and buy a new coupler. PVC cement was what I used.

On a 4 3/16" inside diameter pipe, it fit perfectly. I'm not an expert on "pipe types," so I just wanted to say that this unit worked perfectly on the drain from one of my downspouts; my white drain fitting was 4 1/2" outside diameter and 4 3/16" inside diameter, and this unit fit perfectly. I just wanted to point out that a 4" pipe's inside diameter is not "exactly" 4 inches - But, once again, I'm not an expert; I simply took the measurement. I'd buy it again if I had the opportunity. Thank you very much.
So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly. It appears to do what it's supposed to do and was simple to set up once I got the right adapter. Solid construction, appears to be long-lasting, and I installed it in a non-mowed area, so I won't have to worry about a lawn mower chopping it up. )br>br>However, there is one crucial issue to address. There appears to be some ambiguity regarding the type and size of pipe that this will accommodate. PVC pipe isn't all created equal. When a pipe is advertised as a 3 inch or 4 inch pipe, the stated dimension most often refers to the pipe's inside diameter (i. e. , not the circumference of the hole. Because different grades of pipe have different wall thicknesses, the outside pipe diameter varies depending on the grade or "schedule" of pipe you have, which is important for this item because it is designed to either fit inside a hub fitting or slip over the outside of a pipe. "The New Nintendo Entertainment System" (NDS) is a game that was released in The up Emitter is designed to fit on sewer and drain pipe rather than schedule 40 pipe. NDS part 3P16 is an adapter that converts schedule 40 pipe to sewer and drain pipe. Place the Emitter on the adapter after placing the adapter on top of the pipe. "br>br>The "sewer and drain" pipe in question is a lighter version of Schedule 40 pipe with thinner walls. Schedule 40 pipe and fittings will not work with the up emitter. An adapter, on the other hand, is simple to obtain (and inexpensive). I was able to accomplish this by doing so.
This is a high-quality product, made of solid plastic with a free-moving pop-up that always returns to its original position. Customer service and technical support are both completely inept. br>br>I wanted to use Schedule 40 for my runs, and I was interested to learn from Spider's review that if you use Schedule 40, you'll need NDS part 3P16 as an adapter. 100 correct The emitter can then be connected to a street 90 or a section of actual pipe, and it will fit perfectly. br>Without the adapter, the emitter will fit loosely in the hub and will need to be tightened with a screwdriver. In my opinion, this is a poor job. br>br>Despite calling NDS twice, I was told both times that I didn't need an adapter because I was using S40. If you want the above-mentioned, this isn't true. mentioned a sloppy fit Because schedule 40 is for pressure, both people said they use DWV pipe instead of schedule 40. S40 has a pressure rating, but it's most commonly used for non-pressurized applications. Use of DWV under pressure. br>br>What NDS specifies is a very thin wall PVC that isn't code in many states, even for non-structural applications. DWV = differential pressure I don't like to use the thinner PVC because I believe S40 is better for outside applications because there are more fittings available, it glues/bonds extremely well, and so on. br>br>By the way, if you plan to use a catch basin (for example, at the downspout), get the NDS Catch Basin Kit. There are fittings in the kit that will accept S40 without the need for an adapter at that end. It all came together with a little patience and some helpful input.
In addition, two back-of-the-house downspouts were connected to the same underground drain that leads to the curb and then to the storm drain. After a heavy rainstorm a few months ago, I noticed the popup outlet on the drain had vanished, leaving only the PVC pipe's end. Of course, that would still work, but I didn't want an underground tunnel for rats, mice, or other small vermin, so I purchased this popup, which appeared to be the right size. It appeared secure after a simple push-on. Until a few weeks ago, when another "gullywasher" storm blew through. Yes, the popup had been forced to close, and, like the first, I assume it ended up in a nearby storm drain. So I pressed it into place this time, then drilled a hole through the popup pipe and the pvc and screwed it in. We had another storm a few days ago that remained stationary. br>br>As a result, I recommend this popup drain pipe cover, as well as using a screw or glue to keep it in place!.
One of these pop-up ads was installed. On the end of my new downspout drain run, I put up emitters. I used 4" SDR35 PVC sewer pipe and had no trouble getting it to mate with one of the flared ends; the emitter fits snugly into the flared end in my application, but would not have fit if I had tried to put it on a cut/non-flared end. I would definitely recommend this pop-up to anyone looking for a unique way to express themselves. I'm not sure how it would fit with other nominal pipe sizes/schedules if I used 4"SDR35 pipe.
Thick plastic / PVC is used to construct this item. I've had to buy it twice because my lawnmower sucked up the lid. I gave it four stars, but there are a few issues that I have with it - There should be a way to prevent the lid from being sucked up, and why has the price nearly doubled in less than two years? br>In November of 2015, I paid $9 for the first replacement. In August of 2017, I purchased a new one for $17. 00 (discounted from $19) 02). What is the reason for such a large jump?.
It's the same as the one I broke, except it's missing the spring that holds it in place. It's easier to damage it with a vacuum or suction from the lawn. That's how the first one got damaged, when I was mowing the lawn with the lawn mower set to a low setting.
This is the third time I've ordered one of these pop-ups. For my front lawn, I'd like to give it a thumbs up. It's made of tough plastic and fits perfectly in this odd thing I have; I'm ordering my third because I smashed two with the lawn mower, and the guy who cut my grass did as well. So, of course, the plastic will not withstand lawn mower blades. I'm going to be proactive and get rid of it before I mow the lawn. Even though I don't think they're particularly expensive, ordering three of them is pushing it.
