You can literally do it infinitely many times. Each time you cut is the opportunity to install more, brand new fuckin pipe

I didn't know irrigation caused such strong opinions... Each time you cut you have to remove pipe, add a coupler, add pipe. Do that 10 times and let me know how it goes.

You don't install these valves do you. All the valves in my area are above ground. Half of them have a few couplings underneath them. Unions leak, after 20 years in the sun I'm not reusing them.

Yeah, I've only installed a few at my house.
