Thoroughly confused-poly vs pvc!!!!!
Okay, I've read every post I can find on the subject on this forum and I'm no better off that at the outset.
It seems that poly vs pvc is a personal preference, no big reason not to use either. So I have a couple of questions about pulling with a vibratory plow.
Can you pull gentle curves and arcs with poly or pvc? Is the pvc likely to break? Is it a must that either be pulled straight?
Is it more common to pull completely straight and just use fittings and right angles only?
Is there a practical maximum length to pull (3/4 acre yard)? If pulling pvc, what do you do, stop pulling every 20 feet and glue another section on? Honestly, I'm paranoid about the glued joints giving way while pulling!
And lastly, whereintheheck can I get poly pipe in quantity in the Richmond Va area? All the supply houses just tell me "oh, I never heard of anyone using poly around here, only down at the beach", so the only place I can find it is at Lowes and only 160psi at 1". And I understand that 160psi is intended for constant pressure, no?
Thanks very much for addressing a very well worn topic.
