Good video and awesome job. There are a few things that you need to know. Number one when transitioning from PVC to metal. PVC should be male thread and metal should be female thread. If done the opposite way pressure fluctuations at the joint can cause the PVC to expand and contract and tell it breaks. You should paint the PVC pipe to prevent exposure from the Sun degrading it. You need Teflon tape or piped dope on all types of national tapered threads, you do not need it on the garden house but it doesn't hurt. I use pipe dope on plastic thread to keep from cracking the pipe. I use both on metal. thank you for sharing And keep on keeping on.
@@OnceUponaNJGarden I don't think he did things wrong. And it probably works fine. I would just be a little more careful to not get grass or dirt on the fittings before cement. And I think it's recommended to give the pcv a quarter turn before cement dries.
Look in the irrigation section of your local hardware store. Most will have a Garden hose to PVC adapter fitting with the rubber washer. Lowe's and Home Depot both carry them. $2-$3 for a single fitting vs having a bunch of adapters and leader hose. Also in the irrigation section there is whats called an "auto drain", Rain Bird and Orbit both make them. They thread into a 1/2 NPT fitting. Put one at the lowest point and you won't have to worry about draining the system. It will auto drain once the pressure is below 5psi.
The regular leader hose is not rated for constant pressure I used SS Braided hose for my connection. How do you connect at the source without some sort of leader hose?
Good video! In place of the drain valve, you can use a 'golfcourse drain' (Lowes). It is a spring-loaded valve that springs shut when water pressure is present, and springs open when pressure is released, automatically. I use them here in eastern Washington State so i don't have to worry about forgetting to drain the lines at freezing time.
This is close to what I meant by golf course drain...these are availiable at Amazon. 'Orbit Irrigation 51039 1/2" Brass Auto Drain'. Also 'Orbit WaterMaster Underground 51241 3/4-Inch Plastic Auto Drain Valve'.
I just used a spade and cut in a 50’ heavy duty Sears black rubber garden hose six inches under the grass out to my garden and up the side of a post to a spigot. From there I also buried more lengths of hose under and looped up and into each of my raised garden beds where it changes over to micro hose to water my veggies. It’s worked fine for going on thirty + years now if you can believe that. (Ran one to the garage shop sink too.) Anyway in the late fall I just use my portable air tank to blow out the lines when I close the pool and do the buried 2 1/4” filter pipes too. (I live in the northeast so emptying them all before the freeze is a must or they WILL burst!) I do like the idea of pvc though. If it has to be seen, that kinda makes it look like it’s supposed to be there… 👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy, thanks for taking us along!
Use cement on both surfaces just like the primer and twist at least 1/4 turn for every joint when you push them together to ensure a leak free assembly.
This came in real handy with me starting a raised garden. 2 spigots on my house, but still needed a 100 ft hose to reach. This is much more manageable.
As a temporary convenience, that's clever work done! It does what it's supposed to do and does it affordably. As a permanent fixure... Not so much. Indoor rated pressure pipe won't take many bumps before it shatters after baking in the sun for a couple years. That leader hose isn't rated for sustained pressure, so the original spigot needs to be the main shut off still. I've seen more than my fair share of swollen or exploded leader hoses. Most of the issues could be solved by using the correct equipment to begin with, but that also means more money and work. If it just needs to get you by for a couple years, this is a perfect setup. No need to throw money away if you don't need to.
Always glue the pipe and the fitting 8:42 see how it was hard to slide the pipe into the fitting. Always both sides to ensure you’ll never have a leak! Good video !!
Great video 👍 I spend more time dragging hoses (4-5) all over the yard all summer long! Never even occurred to me to do something like this. I just stumbled upon your video and happy I did. 👍
I am a woman and watching this middle of the night lol. It is remarkable job made easy seem like. I think I will try mine too. Subscribed and like button is yours.
I love DIY pvc stuff, myself. You can use some landscape staples pushed down over the pvc pipe to hold it closer to the house, if necessary. I have a sidewalk that would mean I'd have to run my water hose across it if I do this mod, but that still would be much better than the current single spigot that is on the wrong side of the house. A quick release would likely help if I want to remove the hose to keep it off the sidewalk when not in use. Nice video and explanation. Thanks for sharing it.
Very informative video. One useful skill I learned at a City maintenance job was irrigation & plumbing repair. It's even easier now with Shark Bite fittings.
I'm so excited to have found your video! I needed a spigot in front of my house and had no idea how to do it. Let alone cheaply and pretty easily. And you explained it very well. Thanks!
I’ve never done anything like this before but I feel compelled to go buy hose and pvc pipe, just because I think I could do it successfully! Fantastic instructions.
It will last longer if you bury the PVC around 6" down. It doesn't hold up against sunlight very well. I suggest using galvanized pipe for the above ground portions, like where you come up to attach the hose or spigot.
clamp the water pipe in your next projects to the wood with pipe clamps support, also add a back fload system to your pipe for the water that stays in the pipe to not contaminate the water when return to your house.
A suggestion for the standpipe ,I would use half inch galvanized pipe ,3 foot long and then you don’t have to worry about it freezing or degrading the plastic.
Yes, all threaded connections need Teflon tape, or Pipe dope (thread sealant), unless there is a ferrule, gasket or some other thing that's making a water-tight seal. No Teflon or dope on a hose bib, or the hoses or tubes to your sink faucet.
I was just planning the same thing, but now I've got my shopping list made out thanks to your instructions. For my application, the existing hose bib is the low spot (basement level), so that 6 ft garden hose section will be my cold weather drain as well. Suggestion: for the valve you connected at the T, I would add a little more pipe between. I've seen these valves wear out over time (sun also damages) and a little more pipe will allow you to cut off the old and glue on a new valve.
QUESTION: What is a great way to protect a project like this from extreme SUN HEAT: to lessen or avoid the Sun Damage all together. I'm in an area that the temperature in the summer can range from 95°-110° F!!! 👀👀👀😬😭😆🤣😁 I know that I can do this... All I need to know is: HOW?! Lol 🦸🏽♀️
I would also add some foam pipe insulation on the pvc in the winter...We live in the northern part and it gets cold/freezing...It might not be a great idea but it could help with freezing pipes...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Just perfect for my plants this summer with watering!! Thank you!! 💖💖 Edited- I have no water or plumbing experience and this was easy and simple for me to follow.
Just a suggestion -- you could add Y spliter valve at the first tap and connect the lead hose to one of the outlet. This way you have extra outlet for another hose near the house.
Next time use pvc electrical conduit it comes in schedule 40 its ultra violent resistant and won’t deteriorate from sun exposure and it has flared ends so you won’t have to buy all the couplings. It’s only about a dollar more per joint and will last 10x longer than regular pvc that’s has sun exposure.
Hi, awesome project I followed from begin to end now I have a 2nd Water hydrant, built deck over my original water spigot, I watched others but you explained sizes and material thank you.🌹❤️
One thing to note is that PVC pipe will become very brittle and break easily after being exposed to the sun for a few years. You could paint it or try using uv resistant pvc.
Hi there! Great video! Exactly what i was looking for! Your supplies were very informative and your presentation was easy for me to understand 😀 Thanks again 👍
Don’t apologize for the length of your video! It’s greatly, greatly appreciated as I have no idea beyond pvc what to call the other pieces needed for an extension! I’d be lovely to add in a sprinkler system, however the problem is it’s cost and as of now my priorities are really based having one more line toward the center or a side of the yard for next years garden. I have a long hose but it’s such a pain to unroll and then drag across my yard all for watering plants
Stumbled through and ran up on your channel.. smh.. this is what I've been needing for my gardens and flower garden let alone green house.. thank you so much..
Good DIY project for something temporary or maybe a tenant. If you're a home owner, install yard hydrants. Excellent water pressure, and you never have to worry about your waterline freezing. Do it right the first time ✌️
Take some electrical tape and tape your pvc primer and glue together. so much easier to keep up with I just recently learned that trick . Great videos man keep them coming
this video was informative and helpful. the person who built my house decided to put the spigot under my front porch which sits like a foot off the ground, it is very difficult to access. I would have preferred to put it at the corner of my house. now I want to add one to the corner of my house and make it more accessible and convenient for my family.
Please use pex it is so much easier bro and the fittings click together no need for glue and the make adapters for the hose .. save some time and money .. I used pex on a line like this and put it under rocks in the flower beds
@@ptravers9077 Some people like the idea of a snap-seal and others prefer things to be glue-sealed. I am certain there is a time and place for both. Perhaps you should get the opinion of a landscaper first.
@@GeoffreyHowells most definitely do own my own landscaping business. Lawn care in the summer commercial carpet cleaning in the winter so most of the time I am mowing or hitting g the floor with a crp moving dirt... and when it comes down to it PVC is old tech no one is using ...pex hose expands if frozen can be bent buried and moved unlike PVC.. hence why we use it in underground systems ... there is never a need for old tech when it is evident that better is out there for a cheaper price...
That terminal gate valve hose bib might be better as a quarter turn ball valve. It's really close to the post and probably difficult to get your hand around. Especially if you plan to put a bracket around the pvc and hold it close to the wood.
Consider installing a backflow preventer at your first hose connection especially if you are feeding a kennel, stable, or a pressurized watering system such as as green house. In cold climes disconnect your feed at house wall and blow out with air.
Thanks for this great "how to" video. Now I can eliminate dragging 100ft of hose around my house. Maybe you could list the parts in the description we need also. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Just finished the last of the gluing and waiting for it to cure. We can't wait to turn the water on. No more buckets to water the trees on the hill! :)
Ironically, I just bought all the stuff to do the same thing but using pex rather than pvc. I understand that pex holds up better if you do get a freeze. Having the pipe just laying on the ground is a bit unsightly and gives the weed eater a great target, though. I don't want to bust the pipe so I may raise mine and mount it above grade all the way around with clamps. I've had a hose running around there for 4 years and just leave it..but you know the hose deteriorates in the sun...so it's just a matter of time before the danged thing gives up. Also where you got the riser on a wood post I plan to drive a t-post and mount the pipe to the post.
PEX PIPE - my thoughts exactly - burying it 2 - 4 " underground would be easier ( dont want pipe above ground and down here , freezing wouldnt be a problem ) - havnt priced difference yet , cheaper ? Definately easier to transport in the car
Yes. use teflon tape for all threaded connections you intend to be semi-permanent. It doesn't necessarily seal the threads, but it helps you tighten the threads properly by lubricating them.
@@ASliceofWoodWorkshop There are a number of thicknesses of teflon tape. I use the standared white tape and wrap it 4-6 times around the male threads before assembly. The thicker types (one is gray) only typically need 3-4 wraps for the same application. If you see yellow tape, that's made for gas applications, not water.
this is exactly what I needed to know. I have 4 house spigots and hoses everywhere. this will help organize it where I actually need water and I can run shorter hoses as needed. Awesome! thank you
Ive had this idea in my head for a while.. I knew it could be done but was told it couldn't lol.. thank you so much for the video. Will show it to family
For those of you up north where freezing and cracking is a problem I got a tire valve stem and I used epoxy to attach a plastic garden hose fitting to it and I screw it into the system and use my small tire inflator to blow all the excess water out. Gravity draining does not always get all the water out of the turns and valves. Takes a few extra minutes and you don't have to go back and make repairs.
Ya I dont u understand why not just keep a hose out .. I mean if the line is above ground what's the point it is still out in the open and in the way.. should have put it in the ground with pex for sure and it would have been way easier
@@ptravers9077 he could have simply direct buried the PVC as well. I understand why you’d want a remote spigot, but I would have hard piped it all the way from the source and buried it. It wouldn’t move, which would lessen the chance of getting the pipe in a bind and cracking, and wouldn’t have to worry about leaks at the hose joints (they will eventually leak, and you’ll have to replace the gaskets). Draining would be a little more involved, but easy enough for the few times you may have to do that in winter.
@@mph7282 I agree I mean I would have used pex but pvc is just as good if not better .. pvc is less likely to be punctured.. but the pex hose if a freeze did happen out of the blue the box does expand .. but I have seen sprinklers be installed with both .. I also understand the need for a spigot away from the house just dont see why you wouldn't just use a hose in this scenario.. if it is above ground and laying there ..a hose would be more convenient and cheaper.
This is exactly what I want to do out to our garden, since the original spigot is behind a fence in a spot that's super inconvenient to get to. Thanks for the easy explanation!
I always match mark the pipe and fitting, I also apply cleaner and glue to both the pipe and the fitting, then insert the pipe a quarter turn or so off the match mark, and turn while pushing the joint together and match my mark while seating the joint. This spreads the glue inside the joint for a secure weld. I hold it for a few seconds so it doesn't back out before the glue starts to work. When I let go of the pipe and fitting, I wipe off any excess glue that might have squeezed out of the joint or been applied beyond where the pipe is inside the fitting. I also use tape and dope on threaded connections, but not garden hose connections, there is a washer inside the female end of the hose. That's how I was taught, and how I have always done it.
TY my man...I WAAAAS wondering how I was gonna get to build a water fountain by my deck ; couldn't figure it out fer shite!..NOW...I know how I'm gonna do it!!!!!
Great idea. However as others are saying PVC is sunlight sensitive, it gets brittle and brakes easily. I used water line, bury it and used metal uprights and faucets. Also 1/2" is too small, I use 3/4" mostly to keep my pressure and flow rate up. If you are doing drip irritation the 1/2" is fine Keep up the great ideas for everyone to figure out how to make it work for their own purposes.
Very cool and smart idea. I will be implementing this strategy, but I would prefer to trench to hide the piping. Your strategy saves a lot of time and money. Thanks again for this video
Put your cement on both surfaces. It will squeeze out what it doesn't want. Cement is expensive, but it's cheaper than having to go back and do it again. As long as you're using SCH40 and not class pipe, it won't pool or puddle so much that it will burn through the pipe. I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm cocky, but this is 40 years of experience talking, too.
You can collect rain water in a food grade 55 gallon barrel install that valve on the bottom of the barrel and i save money on my water bill. I set the barrel up on 4 cinder blocks and cover the end of my downspout with cheesecloth and cover the top of the drum with the same use a bungee or 2 to gold it on the drum tight. Keeps debris and leaves out of my water. Win win

Lol I did the same with the hose stretching and decided to add 4 hose bibs and I have 6 more to go.
If leave the drain open when not in use, keep a fine mesh filter over it to stop ants and bugs making a home in the pipe.
Once he drains the line he can just close the valve. No need for anything to stop insects.
Fixing to do that, really needed to watch this, thanks

Thank you for this video! Just finished the last of the gluing and waiting for it to cure. We can't wait to turn the water on. No more buckets to water the trees on the hill! :)
Ironically, I just bought all the stuff to do the same thing but using pex rather than pvc. I understand that pex holds up better if you do get a freeze. Having the pipe just laying on the ground is a bit unsightly and gives the weed eater a great target, though. I don't want to bust the pipe so I may raise mine and mount it above grade all the way around with clamps. I've had a hose running around there for 4 years and just leave it..but you know the hose deteriorates in the sun...so it's just a matter of time before the danged thing gives up. Also where you got the riser on a wood post I plan to drive a t-post and mount the pipe to the post.
PEX PIPE - my thoughts exactly - burying it 2 - 4 " underground would be easier ( dont want pipe above ground and down here , freezing wouldnt be a problem ) - havnt priced difference yet , cheaper ? Definately easier to transport in the car
Yes. use teflon tape for all threaded connections you intend to be semi-permanent. It doesn't necessarily seal the threads, but it helps you tighten the threads properly by lubricating them.
I'm planning on getting some. I believe there are different kinds correct?
There is also the liquid type that works well
@@ASliceofWoodWorkshop There are a number of thicknesses of teflon tape. I use the standared white tape and wrap it 4-6 times around the male threads before assembly. The thicker types (one is gray) only typically need 3-4 wraps for the same application.
If you see yellow tape, that's made for gas applications, not water.
It’s not “national pipe threads” NPS stands for Nominal pipe threads witch are tapered threads
My apologies on the miss with correct wording
Great project. I've thought about doing this in our back yard. Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty awesome. I had no idea you can do it yourself like this. I have the exact same problem....dare I try it? I think I will!
I have faith in you Addy!
😁
this is exactly what I needed to know. I have 4 house spigots and hoses everywhere. this will help organize it where I actually need water and I can run shorter hoses as needed. Awesome! thank you
Thanks! Great video. Now I can have water out to my garden! 😊 Can’t wait!☀️
You should always put glue on both sides of a PVC joint.
Nice work, this is a good full step by step video. Now I just have to get it done, ha.
Ive had this idea in my head for a while.. I knew it could be done but was told it couldn't lol.. thank you so much for the video. Will show it to family
yeah,,until that garden hose gets inflated so maybe getting better garden hose there for the long run!
@@jpthsd inflated?
@@seedylee you haven't seen the hoses went bad under outdoor hot/warm/cool/moist/ ? :)
Wow! that was a great 👍 idea! I am going to do that in my yard! Thank you so very much. Namaste 🙏
Put the glue on the MALE part, not the female. Keeps excess glue from obstructing the flow. Also prevents glue chemicals from polluting the water.
Thank you for the summary in the beginning. I just needed to know the overall components
For those of you up north where freezing and cracking is a problem I got a tire valve stem and I used epoxy to attach a plastic garden hose fitting to it and I screw it into the system and use my small tire inflator to blow all the excess water out. Gravity draining does not always get all the water out of the turns and valves. Takes a few extra minutes and you don't have to go back and make repairs.
Thank you!
That was actually a good video. I haven’t seen any others like it without soldering and digging with machines. Keep it up
Nah everyone uses pex and burries it for a reason 🤷♂️
Ya I dont u understand why not just keep a hose out .. I mean if the line is above ground what's the point it is still out in the open and in the way.. should have put it in the ground with pex for sure and it would have been way easier
@@ptravers9077 he could have simply direct buried the PVC as well. I understand why you’d want a remote spigot, but I would have hard piped it all the way from the source and buried it. It wouldn’t move, which would lessen the chance of getting the pipe in a bind and cracking, and wouldn’t have to worry about leaks at the hose joints (they will eventually leak, and you’ll have to replace the gaskets). Draining would be a little more involved, but easy enough for the few times you may have to do that in winter.
@@mph7282 I agree I mean I would have used pex but pvc is just as good if not better .. pvc is less likely to be punctured.. but the pex hose if a freeze did happen out of the blue the box does expand .. but I have seen sprinklers be installed with both .. I also understand the need for a spigot away from the house just dont see why you wouldn't just use a hose in this scenario.. if it is above ground and laying there ..a hose would be more convenient and cheaper.
This is exactly what I want to do out to our garden, since the original spigot is behind a fence in a spot that's super inconvenient to get to. Thanks for the easy explanation!
Excellent instructional video. Thank you!
I always match mark the pipe and fitting, I also apply cleaner and glue to both the pipe and the fitting, then insert the pipe a quarter turn or so off the match mark, and turn while pushing the joint together and match my mark while seating the joint. This spreads the glue inside the joint for a secure weld. I hold it for a few seconds so it doesn't back out before the glue starts to work. When I let go of the pipe and fitting, I wipe off any excess glue that might have squeezed out of the joint or been applied beyond where the pipe is inside the fitting. I also use tape and dope on threaded connections, but not garden hose connections, there is a washer inside the female end of the hose. That's how I was taught, and how I have always done it.
TY my man...I WAAAAS wondering how I was gonna get to build a water fountain by my deck ; couldn't figure it out fer shite!..NOW...I know how I'm gonna do it!!!!!
Nice video. Gave me some good ideas for my own outdoor water faucet project. Thanks!!!
Glad I could help!
Good video bro. One of the best that showed me what I need to do 👍
great video I never thought about the drain but that's a great idea that I will use very helpful thanks!
Great idea. However as others are saying PVC is sunlight sensitive, it gets brittle and brakes easily. I used water line, bury it and used metal uprights and faucets.
Also 1/2" is too small, I use 3/4" mostly to keep my pressure and flow rate up. If you are doing drip irritation the 1/2" is fine
Keep up the great ideas for everyone to figure out how to make it work for their own purposes.
We will see how long it ends up lasting. No issues using the 1/2" line for me so far and I have used a pressure washer off it as well.
Great vid. Nice job. Very helpful info.
Thanks for a very helpful video. I will be doing a project like this myself.
Thank you for checking out the video
Crazy impressive! Readying up to pipe up my farm. Thanks for the video!
Very nice and well done I’m looking forward to running a water line to my workshop..
You will not regret that
Very cool and smart idea. I will be implementing this strategy, but I would prefer to trench to hide the piping. Your strategy saves a lot of time and money. Thanks again for this video
Trenching wouldn't take too much extra. I still use mine a lot and the pipes aren't deteriorating
Regarding PVC-to-Metal threaded connections, I've heard professionals swear by Teflon paste; as, the tape is prone to leaks.
Put your cement on both surfaces. It will squeeze out what it doesn't want. Cement is expensive, but it's cheaper than having to go back and do it again. As long as you're using SCH40 and not class pipe, it won't pool or puddle so much that it will burn through the pipe. I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm cocky, but this is 40 years of experience talking, too.
Perfect! Just what I have been looking for to get water out to the garden and get rid of lugging the hoses. Thanks!
You can collect rain water in a food grade 55 gallon barrel install that valve on the bottom of the barrel and i save money on my water bill. I set the barrel up on 4 cinder blocks and cover the end of my downspout with cheesecloth and cover the top of the drum with the same use a bungee or 2 to gold it on the drum tight. Keeps debris and leaves out of my water. Win win
Wow that’s a great idea 💡 thank you 🙏
Fantastic idea and thank you for sharing
Very helpful and many thanks
Very Cool & Informative video!!! Excellent Work!!! THANKS for sharing this DIY PROJECT!!! Looks really professional & like the END RESULT WORKS Great without any "problem areas" or "leaks!!!" I Love this!
Is there a list of all the parts needed for this? I want to do this for my garden but am not proficient at all on the different parts and sizes.
Use the gray PVC for much better UV protection.
Not rated for pressure
thank you. i was just talking about doing this...now I have a clear picture of what I need to do.
