I used medium black abs glue on white pvc pipe for my sprinklers, wich are not buried yet, I also primered the pipe with the purple stuff. I have pretty good water pressure and only three sprinklers but many joints. Will it hold? Or leak? I guess I'm not the brightest bulb in the tool shed

Better that then have pipes blowing apart and having to dig things up down the road. As much as it stinks, repipe it and don't be too hard on yourself... you are not the first or last person to do this BY ANY MEANS!
