Buy a couple bags of sand and encase the pipe & fitting with it when you make repairs before backfilling with the native material. Utilities such as water, sewer, storm, communications, power and countless others require some sort of pipe embedment import material. Not necessarily sand, sometime drain type rock, or something else that can be compacted, yet not effected by the native soil's expansion and contraction. Sand around your pipes would make it easier to excavated for future repairs, although there prolly won't be any more...
