Yes, 90 degree between the 6” downspout and 6” main line.

The crack is at the downstream end of the junction where the pipe inserts into the junction. In other words the junction cracked but the downstream pipe did not.

Hmm, something to talk to the installer about. He’s designed & installed many systems. Says this is the first time he’s seen this. Also getting a 2nd opinion.

It seems like the gap in the picture is wider at one side like the pipe may be crooked or skewed.

I wonder if the pipe was buried under tension to begin with or when the backfill was done and it just put stress on the pipe and cracked it over time.
