I was recently gifted a run down chicken coop. I have a little work to do to it before it is ready for some chickens. One of those being that I need to get it cleaned out, and I wanted to figure out a way to have it auto-water the chickens.
I found a watering pale that you connect a garden hose to and it has a float that shuts off the water when it fills up.
The only problem is that I didn’t have water available near the coop.
In this video, I show you how to tap into an existing CPVC water line and connect a water valve shutoff, as well as an outside hose spigot.
This is an easy DIY project for mosts DIYers. As always, check local building codes to make sure you don’t need a permit for this project, or to obtain one if you do.
Oh, and I live in FL so I don’t have to worry about freezing pipes. If you live in an area where the pipes freeze, I would suggest you run your pipes underground below the frost line, and put your shut off valve underground as well.
Here are the tools you’re going to need for this job:
Hose Spigot: amzn.to/2w0JF4D
Ball Valve: amzn.to/2W4Vt4j
CPVC Primer: amzn.to/2Q8ss2h
CPVC Glue: amzn.to/2VqB7hO
Pipe Cutters: amzn.to/2VtFvwf
Channel Locks: amzn.to/2HmORGj
Crescent Wrench: amzn.to/2Ho4BJh
Spade Bits: amzn.to/2w1TXkV
Drill: amzn.to/2Qaaw7I
Screws: amzn.to/2VwVQ3f

Thanks so much, this was the best description of what to do without a whole bunch of stuff to confuse a person who wants to install this spigot.

Thanks for video!. One trick I learned after doing years of commercial irrigation repairs was when using the ratcheting pipe cutters run you a brush full of primer on where your blade is cutting, something about the primer makes cutters cut pvc pipe like butter. We've used bread also to stop water from a pipe that keeps running while we do repair. The bread easily dissolves and goes out faucets.

I am a fixer and try as much as I can to fix everything I can since I had to move back home to live with my dad who recently had a stroke. The challenges are endless, one thing after another. I recently added a spigot to the balcony where he goes outside to relax and enjoy the sun, along with his daily exercises. Anyway he wanted more plants around the yard but I don't have time to water so now he can do the watering from his wheelchair. Anyway thanks for the info on wrapping the spigot with teflon tape in opposite direction, I did not think that one through and had leakage. So rewrapped with teflon tape, problem solved.

@@IAmAFixer i thought pvc isnt supposed to be exposed to sun

In general, it’s better to not, but this area gets zero sun. I would do things different if it got a ton of sun.

Thanks, Jay, but you’d be ok. It’s the little 1/4” twist to make sure the glue seats everywhere that makes the difference.

I heard that CPVC does not have good UV protection. I thought you were not supposed to use it where the sun could hit it?

What keeps the pipes from freezing in the winter?

Why did you pay for shot off valve if it’s installed just next to the valve?! Usually in cold states the put that in basement or under the house to protect from freezing!!! And if you are in Florida you could just skip it.

I didn’t pay for it. I had it and just wanted to be able to shut off the water before the spigot in case I needed to. Thanks or could certainly go without in this situation.

A useful added feature if he has to do maintenance on the spigot (leaks). Great if he never has to use it but also great if he does...
