RVLI, thanks for your help! Regarding teflon tape, I was just advised last night to use it on the all male fittings up to and including the valves, but NOT on the funny ells where they attach to the sprinkler head and saddle. Nothing is ever easy, I guess there could be more than 1 correct answer. Can you elaborate here?
Regarding saddles and poly, the poly is just installed high in places. Just received shipment of blazing saddles last night and the instructions indicate that they can be mounted upright or sideways. I am sure you have a comment about this, b/c I am not so sure myself if this is a good idea.
Thanks!! Dave
