There are two basic types of couplers.

Barbed which you just push into each piece of pipe.

Perma Loc, they have a screw on collar, think brake lines, a couple of pennies more and a tiny little bit really insignificant more work.

I used to use the barbed but switched to Perma Loc because the extreme temperature swings in my area causees ground expansion / contraction and I've had the barbed type pull apart on occasion.
