    There will be times when connecting sections of pipe together will be necessary. Here's how to go about it:

    1. Start by trimming off any excess pipe using the poly-pipe cutters (figure A).

    2. Heat both ends of the pipe with the propane torch (figure B).

    3. Slide stainless-steel clamps over each end of the pipe (figure C).

    4. Push one end of the coupling onto the pipe until it reaches halfway on the coupling (figure D).

    5. Push the other end of the pipe onto the coupling.

    6. Position clamps over the pipe and coupling and crimp down securely (figure E).
