Got er.
Trench ended up going 15 more feet instead of the five I anticipated.
The break was at the edge of the house.
the last 10 feet (all 4" clay) seemed askew so I replaced that length with PVC.

One of the rubber connectors (a 4" plastic to 6"clay type) that I used to connect to the large flange end of a 6" clay to 4" clay connector didn't want to seal well (due to the ribs on the outside of the flange I think).
I packed it full of plumbers putty (between the clay and the rubber and it seems to be ok. I'm going to leave it exposed till next weekend so I can monitor it for soundness before I back fill.

Thanks for the input.
