Franky almost killed me trenching an underground line.

What happens here

The trencher attachment is connected to the mini loader using its quick-attach mechanism. The hydraulic hoses are then attached, and the system is tested to ensure proper function. The creator also showcases the gas line itself: a yellow Pro-Poly Direct Burial Gas Piping System, which comes in a 300-foot coil. He then shows the specialized plumbing-style connectors that are certified for underground use, which will be used to connect sections of the pipe if needed. He reiterates the importance of burying the pipe deep enough to avoid damage, preferably 2.5 to 3 feet deep to prevent disturbance from frost or future digging.

Goal: Prepare the trencher and understand the gas piping system

Tools and materials

  • Hydraulic Hoses — Connecting the trencher to the mini loader's hydraulic system
  • Mini Loader CastLoaders Carbon 33T — Operating the trencher and moving dirt
  • Trencher Attachment — Digging the trench
  • Specialized Gas Line Connectors — Joining sections of the gas pipe

say okay she works right away we got one side in yeah yep we're in let's give her a test run let's put it in tupac [Music] oh look at that well i'm no expert on trench in fact this is going to be the first time ever that i've used a trencher that's because the last time frankie and i had to do a job like this he almost killed me so let's show them what we're working with so this is one inch this is actually the gas pro pro poly direct burial gas piping system 300 feet and i want to show you the connectors the weirdest weirdest connectors ever they look like plumbing connectors let me show you this is crazy so to take that coil and to pipe it over and to convert it you need this riser tube this is 57 and then here's the actual fittings it's just the same as the as plumbing fittings now and this actually is certified to go underground that's the way they want it
