Product Description

Sometimes there is no option but to run pipes or conduit under a sidewalk. In that case, you can rent a power boring machine, buy an expensive sidewalk sleeve tool, or buy the walkway tunnel kit. The walkway tunnel kit is an inexpensive first step, and it may be just perfect for your needs. Please read the online reviews to get a feeling for the range of uses and the key success factors, but the following is typical: “I didnt think there was any possible way this would work as advertised. I had a 9.5 sidewalk to go under and thick clay soil, so I figured this would be a nightmare. I didnt have many other options though and the price was low enough to give it a try. Bought a 10 PVC pipe for $3, glued the ends on there and dug a long shallow trench. Turned on the water and I was through in about 3 minutes. Worked so well I bought another one and did it again so I could have separate pipes for my drip irrigation and landscape lighting cord.” The kit includes a nozzle for one end of the pipe and a hose connection for the other end. You will need to buy a length of 3/4-inch pipe that is slightly longer than the area you are tunneling under, and PVC cement to glue the nozzle and hose connection fittings to the pipe. If you are installing a 1-inch PVC pipe, you will need to buy a 1” x 3/4" PVC bushing. Your garden hose provides the trenching power. When you are finished tunneling, you will cut off the fittings, leaving the pipe in place under the sidewalk. Recommended operating pressure is 60 PSI. For outdoor irrigation use with cold water only.

From the Manufacturer

The Walkway Tunnel Kit helps you install sprinkler systems that need to go under driveways and walkways. The jet-stream nozzle connects to a hose and clears dirt from under the walkway and allows you to put sprinkler pipes in easily.
