Got the pipe back together Friday using track-hoe and three men.
dug along each side carefully and exposed line, hand uncovered the top soil.
discovered no other joint seperations.
cleaned pipe end and inside 22 degree ell.
rigged sling to raise and support line into connect position.
quickly purple primed inside ell, outside pipe, inside ell second time, applied heavy gray slow set cement inside ell, outside of pipe, then track-hoe operator positioned and pulled the downslope line and ell onto the pipe end quickly and got good penetration of female onto male pipe end, held same in place for approximately 15 minutes, then pre-drilled and installed #10 1-1/4 inch stainless steel screws in 22 degree ell top and both sides, we also put stainless screws in downstream joints before we moved the line as insurance for the lift and pull task.
we then poured a concrete support under the 22 degree ell and the 22 degree ell further downstream which are the pressure points of the downslope line, then we hand packed the soil in and under remainder of the downslope line until no voids present.
re-filled top with hoe, packed, leveled/smoothed backslope soil, re-planted rye and fertilized.
water began flowing out 12"ine approxiately 24 hours later'
we believe if we had gotten a good primer and glue job the first time, this would not have happened.
everything else we did yesterday was for insurance but probably not necessary.
If we get time and figure out how to import the pictures, we will later.
Thanks for all your help and recommendations...good information on this forum.
will keep you posted on siphon performance.
