3 Things You Don’t Want to Overlook

 

  • Identify Source Lines
  • User Proper Piping

  • Be Sure to Identify Any Source Lines Before Starting

It is extremely important to know where all of your gas lines, power lines, and cable TV lines are before starting to dig your trenches. Accidentally breaking one of these lines can be costly – both monetary and convenience based. Unsure how to identify these lines? Aspen’s team of professionals can help you with this process.

  • Use the proper piping.

The type of piping you need to use will depend on your climate and ground type. For example, PVC pipe is the standard option. However, there are different diameters and wall thickness’. Poly pipe is for colder climates and has a different installation process.

  • Don’t Overlook Local Codes

It’s important to check your local codes before you start installing a sprinkler system. When tapping into service lines, you should use different procedures based on the type of material you are using. Some local codes require professional installation.
