​1.    Cut the PVC pipe into one 2-foot section and four 1.5-foot sections.
2.    Attach the T-junction to the 2-foot pipe.
​3.    Attach two 1.5-foot sections into opposite ends of the T-junction.
4.    Place the 45º connectors on the ends of the bait station legs (1.5-foot sections).
​5.    Place the two remaining 1.5-foot sections on the ends of the 45º connectors.
6.    Place the 4-inch to 3-inch reducers on the ends of the extensions
