What happens here

According to the video, for clear PVC cement, it's advisable to allow at least 30 minutes of dry time before reintroducing water pressure. After the drying time, slowly open the main water supply valve to gradually pressurize the irrigation system. Carefully inspect all new and reconnected joints for any signs of leaks. In the video, an initial spray from the hose bib connection indicates a need for slight adjustment. Ensure all leaks are resolved before proceeding.

Goal: Allow the PVC cement to cure for the recommended time, then slowly restore water pressure and inspect for any leaks.
