Spa Jet Plumbing
Tonight, I finished the spa jet plumbing lines. The flex pipe is not that flexible...it tends to want to remain coiled. This posed problems trying to connect to the fittings. The natural recoil of the flex pipe puts stress on the glue joints while curing. I used some elbow fittings (22-1/2 & 45 degree) to relieve joint load. Still, I might have leaks. I have no way of obtaining 2-1/2" pvc pipe caps to seal the jet pipes and then pressure test it...oh, well, I hope the shotcrete holds it all together.
