Original pipe had a hole and plumbers used rubber joiner, I assumed they would use a coupling and PVC glue. The area is a foot path which will have concrete poured with next few days. And not sure to request builder to have the join repaired again with glue/coupling.

I would never specify the use of flimsy SN2 pvc stormwater pipe in a charged system but it is probably included in the specs. Not impressed with the (lack of) angle of repose either! 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.

You posting has reminded me that I was going to check manufacturers definition of "low pressure application" to make sure that a rainwater harvesting wet system fell into that category. These days I don't recommend using them with rainwater harvesting wet system pipes but I realise you have a non pressure application. 3in1 Supadiverta.
