1.) All the parts are pre-cut here. Your
"CUT LIST" is as follows: (8)
EA 45" Pieces of Sched 40 PVC,
(12) EA 24" Pieces of Sched 40 PVC,
(16) EA 7.5" Pieces of Sched 40 PVC
and (12) EA 1.5"
Pieces of Sched 40 PVC. |
 |
2.) Take 8 of the 7.5"
pieces of PVC and 8 of the 45 degree elbows. Make and Octagon
BUT DO NOT GLUE IT YET. Take the other 8 of each and make a
second octagon. Lay them on a flat surface like the picture. You
can see that I left it crooked intentionally. |
 |
3.)These have to be as STRAIGHT AS
POSSIBLE. Using your foot, simply apply pressure until all the
elbows are touching the ground and your octagons are straight. |
 |
4.) Here you can see both of them
lying flat for the next step BEFORE YOU GLUE THEM. |
 |
5.) Using a "Sharpie" or similar,
and with the octagon lying flat, make a series of lines on both
the elbow and the PVC pipe where it inserts into the elbow.
Now when you glue it together, do one connection at a time and
work your way around the octagon without skipping. Even if it
moves a little you still know where it has to be just by LINING
UP THE MARKS YOU MADE. This is the easiest way I have found to
make sure it is flat and straight. |
 |
6.) Now take all your 45" Pieces
and glue a snap tee (Spears) on ONE END ONLY. The picture to the
left was taken AFTER
step number 7. Sorry, I was not planning very well. |
