Add a Water Spigot Anywhere in Your Yard! 

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.

Thank you for the full instruction. Being 64 and a small woman dragging hoses almost 100 ft is difficult. I’ll be adding this system by the weekend.

I went out and bought all the parts needed for this project. I assembled everything and...I was very pleased with the results. Thanks so much.☺️🥰👍🏽

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.

This was the most helpful video I found. My husband and I went and bought all the parts and now we have a spigot inside our screen enclosure where I have a collection of orchids. I'm hooking up a hose to water my plants. Thank you so much for a great video.

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.

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!

This is what RU-vid is for. Love it. I know how to do this all but now my wheels are turning.. I think I need to Make another outdoor shower 👍🏼

Thanks. I was bring buckets and watering can to the back of the house this gave me an idea how to water my plants in the back yard.

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.

Just did this at my house. Thank you so much for making a thought a reality. Went from the side of the house to 60 ft away on the back and added a spigot on the top deck and on the bottom

Installed mine today after watching your video. Simple and fast. Turned out very nice. Thank you. 👍

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 👍

Thank you so much, Timothy, for this video, it really helped me. My spigot is on the other side of the house from where my new veggie garden is so I have to use a 100 ft hose drape across the yard to water the plants. You did an excellent job of explaining everything for a newbie like me, I'm going to do this new project as soon as I get all the supplies.

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.

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.

Fabulous, informative video. I have multiple hoses running from one spigot and it’s driving me crazy. Thank you Timothy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰

This is exactly what I didn't know I needed 🙂👍 Gonna use this method for off grid water supply. Thanks for the 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. 👍

Excellent rambling and details and demonstration - thanks!

Thank you! I been wanting my husband to tackle this...now he can!

I wish I would've seen this video when you uploaded it 3 years ago. But it's never too late, this will be my very next project! Thanks so much for sharing this.

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've had this project on hold for some time, now I have a material list and heading to Lowes for an early Saturday start. Thanks for all the good advice.

Thanks for being ‘real’ about this project. I think i could even follow the instructions here. Good job mate 👍

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!☀️

Great project. I've thought about doing this in our back yard. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Good idea on the winter drain valve too.

I smiled when you turned the knob and the water gushed out. Success! Great job!

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.

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!

You explained this project in terms even I can understand! Very much appreciated, thanks!

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.🌹❤️

Now that is really cool !! Thanks for the video!

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! :)

thank you. i was just talking about doing this...now I have a clear picture of what I need to do.

Wow! that was a great 👍 idea! I am going to do that in my yard! Thank you so very much. Namaste 🙏

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.

Thank you for sharing - just bought my 1st home and I needed to figure out how to get water to the other side of the house with only one water spicket on the property it was a little hard to do - now it's a project I can tackle on my own - again thank you for sharing your knowledge 🌼

You have a gift for explaining things. You are also careful and do your job well. Thanks for this video, it was very helpful.

great video I never thought about the drain but that's a great idea that I will use very helpful thanks!

Good job, and good idea on placing that drain valve for winterizing the piping!

Excellent Video! It answered ally Questions as this was my next project & I had concerns about the NPT from the existing Spiget! Thanks Again

Excellent instructional video. Thank you!

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 !!

Crazy impressive! Readying up to pipe up my farm. Thanks for the video!

Had to come here again to refresh my memory to put in another line! Thanks again!

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.

Thank you for the summary in the beginning. I just needed to know the overall components

Perfect! Just what I have been looking for to get water out to the garden and get rid of lugging the hoses. Thanks!

Thank you! Progress. I'm learning. Rock on and run on water!

Good video! Running pipe lessens the work of dragging 100+ feet of hose to distant corners for sure. A point on water flow, a 1/2 or 3/4" gate valve doesn't always internally open to a full 1/2 or 3/4". Around 5:30 in the vid, those splitter shut on/off valves attached are normally 1/4". internal opening for flow. If you have good pressure at full on but you need more volume (multiple sprinklers on one line) then the upstream devices may be the culprit. They do make full port devices but they aren't budget friendly..

Nice work, this is a good full step by step video. Now I just have to get it done, ha.

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.

Thanks for a very helpful video. I will be doing a project like this myself.

Good video. You could toss a 45 degree elbow just before the spigot / hose bib to bring it away from the wall an inch or to to make it easier to access the handle. Heat gun could also be used selectively to modify the location / bends of the pipe a bit. Also, apply some latex paint on exposed pvc pipe to protect it from the sun & hide the "white". That valve could be used to extend the system too drains are a good idea!

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.

Thank you! Thank you!! Great, straightforward and did not need a man’s help…except yours, Timothy DC 😉💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

That was actually a good video. I haven’t seen any others like it without soldering and digging with machines. Keep it up

This was so helpful. Just what I needed. Thank You!

Great idea & the work was nicely done; thanks for sharing!

Very nice and well done I’m looking forward to running a water line to my workshop..

Great video. Been meaning to make this addition for a while been putting it off cause didn’t know how to do it. Will get started tomorrow. Thanks

If you’re not going to bury the pvc, you may want to prime/paint it or coat it with something as pvc will deteriorate in prolonged sun exposure.

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!

Great job, will be doing this project this weekend...

What a neat idea & so useful!

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.

Saving this video!!!!! I hope mine system is the same and I don't run into issues!

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

This is exactly what I need! Thank you so much! I subscribed.

So that's how you do it. Some great ideas. Thanks for the video/info.

Wow that’s a great idea 💡 thank you 🙏

Great video. Straightforward and easy. I would have used the pipe tape when joining the pvc fitting to the spicket too. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent idea to add the valve for drainage. 👍🏻

Thank you for this video. You have amazing skin BTW!!

Fantastic idea and thank you for sharing

Thanks for the video, very helpful and useful as well.

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.

Lately, I seem to enjoy someone else doing the work... good video and added another project for the list

T tape is a necessity for any threaded end, other than a garden hose. They have a plastic seal/gasket inside.

Good job. I'm going to make one, but I'm going to spray paint my PVC green. That will make it blend in.

I got lucky when I bought my house. The previous owner had a shed (with washer/dryer hook ups) where my garden is now & they left the water connections in the ground. I'm going to tap into it this fall and do something similar to what you did so I'll be ready for next spring. There are NPT to garden hose thread adapters (female & male) in PVC. Its usually by the valves or irrigation section in Lowe's.

Great idea, I have recently planned on using dripper line to create a leas expensive way to run a waterline for faucets. Once I get my syatem.up I will play it on my channel. Awesome video

I like it. Have the same issue. Will copy your plan. Thank you !!!

Great job! Thanks for sharing it.

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.

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!!!

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!

Great job. Good video. Keep up the great work

If you're doing this project, consider a 1/4 turn ball valve instead of this style. 1/4 turn valves are less likely to leak since they doesn't utilize a rubber washer for sealing. Especially if you live in an area with water that contains high amounts of minerals. That stuff can really mess up the washer in a standard valve.

Great, practical idea! Thanks.

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.

Nice job. Thank you for sharing

easier than I thought... thanks a lot!

Me: (watches video) .... 😳 6 hours later....no more 100 foot hose around the house and now have a new garden hose connection 😀

Nice ,now my project begins,thank you .

I built my own too. Strangely very satisfying :)
