I just reconnected my 2-way hose splitter and turned on the water. It's great to have pressurized water available in multiple locations on the property!
Don’t know if you’ll see this, as it’s 2 years later, but, THANK YOU! I’m putting in an outdoor sink, and need that 3/4 to 3/4 adapter. I asked for help at Lowe’s, but nobody ever came to help, after waiting 1/2 an hour. Anyway, I got what I thought would work, but it’s national to national threading. I took a screenshot of what you used, so now I can get the right piece. This tidbit is so appreciated. Also, I hadn’t considered the water pressure to the sink, as all the rest of the line I’m running is irrigation tubing, and attached to a flow reducer. Future crisis averted!
How are you sir, mostly modeled my extended spigot after your video. Thank you! The difference was I didn’t bury my pvc pipe. I live in Connecticut. The line has a downward slope and I added a ball valve drain at the lowest point so I would imagine that I won’t need to use an air compressor to blow it out. But my question is, how bad is it that I didn’t bury my lines? Will it deteriorate/crack in the sun (in the summer) and in freezing temps even if there is no water in them?
Hello, Since you didn’t bury your PVC lines, the sun will deteriorate them over time. I don’t know how long it will take for the sun to do significant damage. Also, make sure that your slope in steep enough to drain the line thoroughly. One dip in the line could cause water to pool and later freeze and crack the line. You may want to consider burying the lines slightly below the surface to protect them.
I also live in CT. I ran a PVC line to my wife's garden so she could have a spigot nearby. I buried the PVC line at a similar depth. I intend to blow it out with a small compressor every year sometime in early November.
I have a brain of a 5 year old so I have a dumb question about the Y connector. So will the faucet that's connected to the house with the Y connector always be turned on for the other spigots to receive water? Or do you keep that shut off and only turn on when you want to use your extra spigots?
I leave the house spigot turned on all of the time, so that the other spigots receive water. Once side of the Y is for the spigots and the other side of the Y is for a hose on a reel.
If I put a spigot or any water line that depth in my yard it would be frozen solid by November . My area 3 foot down at least and 4 feet is best plus it needs to be self draining when shut off or they freeze solid by November .
@@AdventuresAtHome1 It was my splitter. When I looked inside it, the closer was plastic and looked like when in closed position, it still showed a slight slit for the water to come thru. I've replaced it with a brass one. Thank you
thanks for informative video. Could you please upload material list especially spigots and adapts. looking to the same type of project. however not worried about frost line so much in lower Alabama. GO Bucks!
Hey Nathan, Thanks for your comment! I don’t have a material list. I would recommend going to Home Depot on a weekday and getting some help from the plumbing clerk. Tell them what you are trying to do and they should be able to provide all of the materials. Just try to fit the pieces together in the store to ensure that you have the correct sizes of fittings.
Since the lines are only buried 6 inches, the water will freeze if the temperature drops below 32 degrees for an extended period of time. The frozen water will crack the lines.
A 100 ft roll of polley pipe is only about 50 bucks. And I would have drove through the basement wall into the basement and connected there. And on the other end I would have done copper coming out of the ground. PVC won't last exposed to the weather.
@@lostintime8651 Where do you buy your supplies? Home Depot has 10 foot sections of the 3/4 inch PVC pipe available for $5.61. The 100 foot rolls of poly pipe are going for $107. You aren’t making any sense.
