Under Ground Water Pipes Connectors

[badr82]

Hi,,,
I have a problem with the water pipes couplers bolts that located under ground in corrosive soil,
what bolts is suitable in this case, and what unit-corrosion material should I use to protect them?

Many people specify stainless steel bolts for these underground applications.

How is the pipe itself protected?

The pipe is AC pipe, we use the mechanical coupler to maintenance purposes.

Some prefer the zinc anodes on the bolts:
