I am planning on using Schdl 40, but I like your idea of filling the pipe with soil. I'll do that, or use sand, after capping the end with foam, internally, before I glue it to the elbows. Thanks! In researching loads on Schdl 40 pipe, it seems pretty indestructible, especially if it's buried, a bit. Lots of guys post about driving trucks over S40 that's laying flat on the ground, with no trouble. If it did crack, it wouldn't be that big a deal. I could always saw out the bad part, and replace with a new piece, using slip connectors.
