ABSTRACT:
A thrust block for an irrigation system enables a high pressure valve or other component connected to the thrust block to be easily replaced without digging out a concrete block and surrounding portion of the ground and sectioning the adjacent pipe sections. The valve includes flanges on each end thereof which are releasably secured to similarly configured flanges on couplings. Braces are partially embedded within a concrete block beneath the valve and an upper end of each brace is secured to the fasteners joining the conventional flanges of the valve and the coupling. A push-on fitting is provided on each coupling for easy assembly of the coupling to the adjacent pipe sections.
