Waiting 2 hours for the PVC cement to dry before pressure testing... Wires not connected yet. It took about 2.5 hours this morning to get to this point, after digging out the hole and removing the box the previous day, and buying another $20 worth of parts.
Note the bushing on the inlet side stepping down the 1" PVC to 3/4" to avoid inserting another spacer/adapter, to minimize manifold offset. Also note the 3/4" tubes going out to adapters on the 1" and 1/2" lines.
The manifold rests on dirt, and hopefully isn't under too much pressure (on the PVC pipe) from the bends in the outgoing lines. I'll have to dig out around the manifold somewhat to reinstall the box.
