Very well...I guess I will just use the standard copper female adaptor -> pvc male adapter -> valve route then.
The reason I was thinkin using poly pipe as the main is because the main line is going to be really short (only spans from after the PVB to the master valve which will be sitting pretty much right next to the PVB). By using poly across the board, I will save the trouble of getting anything remotely connected to using PVC pipes (primer, glue, brushes, etc.)
Thanks for clearing up on the blazing saddle usage. I will use the standard poly T connectors as you suggested.
I do have one more question. Where should I install the blow out fixture for winterization? The guide from Rain Bird's web site only show 3/4'' threaded T downstream of the PVB but before the firt valve. Is it adequate for hooking up to air compressors?
Thanks again.
