Step 4: Dry Fit It.

Take all of your fittings and cut up pipe to an area where you can dry fit the parts together before you glue them.   DO NOT smack them into the fittings just yet. Just keep them loose.   THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! You need to make sure that your cuts are correct before you use your PVC Cement on them.

Lay your parts down on a flat surface, and loosely assemble as shown in the attached diagrams, for either Option A or Option B. I’ve denoted ‘T’ as to where you want your Tees, ‘90’ as to where you want your 90s and ‘4’ as to where you want your 4-Ways. When you are comfortable with your setup, move onto the next step.

For Option B, the PVC will go into the first fitting and the second fitting, and will be VERY snug.  I suggest you wait on final assembly before you dry fit Option B.  Dont worry if the Option B diagram makes the guard look huge, its not, its just an exploded view.
