Hi Daniel,
When you view this item on homedepot.com, you will see a black box outlining a section labeled " Info & Guides." In this section you will see 4 links that you can click on. One of the links is "Installation Guide." If you click this link, it will take you to our HOME-FLEX Underground System Design and Installation Manual. One of the most important statements in the manual is that you must perform your installation in accordance with the plumbing code that is in effect for the location of the installation. For Example, if the required amount of cover below grade for your location is 18 inches, and your trench is 20 inches deep, then the answer to your question is no. You may not install the 90 degree elbow vertically, because then the fitting and pipe will not remain 18 inches below grade. The pipe and fitting will be too shallow in the ground. Our instruction sheet and our Installation manual also provides our contact information. You can give us a call and we will answer your questions. We are here from 8-5 Los Angeles time M-F (661) 257-3923 Ask for Jon or Dave ValenciaPipe

Leaking after installation. Lose airtight connection after adding fittings. Too easily compromised, I would only use the straight type of fitting.

          They kind of worked
          These 90 degree fittings have been the source of the leaks and problems. The irrigation industry used the same style of fittings years ago they don't use because they leak. I would rather a barbed fitting or a better set up. And yes I read the instructions on the fittings

              Great Product very straightforward and easy to use but I am afraid Home Depot failed me on actually getting the two I needed like 4 times !! It took them weeks to resolve it and for me to get what I needed !!

                            The product is excellent. The curved downpipes are marked "ground level", something not mentioned in the online directions. Easy to install, looks durable, no special tools needed. So, why the low rating? Because I only needed 25 feet, but was forced to buy a 100 foot roll! As soon as I unpacked the tubing, it expanded into a HUGE clump that hogs up half of my garage! Home Dumpo should sell it by the foot, just like wire and other products.

                            Hi - Thanks for your input. Most consumers need longer lengths of pipe for their underground installations. Given that the price per lineal foot of the tubing is the lowest priced component of a complete installation ($.45/lf for the 3/4") as well as limited space in a Home Depot display, Home Depot carries 100' and 250' rolls. As for storing it, we suggest you lay it out in the sun for a few hours making it pliable. Then roll it around something round (like a bucket, rim, etc.) and tip tie it for storing it more neatly. If stored with exposure to the elements, it has a maximum of 3 years "yard life". ValenciaPipe
