Underground pool piping crossing over each other best practices

[JThein]

Hi everyone,

I am redoing my pool piping and I just can’t figure out how to not cross two pipes to get them back to the equipment pad. Is it okay to cross two pipes underground? If so, what are some best practices in doing so.

I am using all 2” rigid pvc.

Thanks everyone.

You asking about two pool water pipes?

No problem. They are piled up in a trench by the builder.

Yes, I need to cross over two pieces of rigid pvc pipes. You’re saying that that happens all the time?

it's fine to cross them. just try to leave space between them so that the backfill can be compacted well and so it fully supports the pipes.
