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.☺️🥰👍🏽

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is what KZfaq 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 👍🏼

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

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 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.

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!

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'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!

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’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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.🌹❤️

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..

Excellent rambling and details and demonstration - thanks!

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

I see a honey do in my husband’s future. Thank you for sharing this.

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.

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.

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.

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

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! :)

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!

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

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.

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 🌼

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

Excellent idea to add the valve for drainage. 👍🏻

This can also be easily adapted to make a pvc watering sprinkler system for the lawn too, I bet.

Just bought everything at lowes it was $75 im doing 60 ft ...i will finally have water on my back yard ..

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

Lol I did the same with the hose stretching and decided to add 4 hose bibs and I have 6 more to go.

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

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.

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

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.

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 👍

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 remember to open the line during the winter

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

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks! Great video. Now I can have water out to my garden! 😊 Can’t wait!☀️

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 ✌️

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.

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.

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.

The first connection with the adapter glued up on the wrong side never put it inside a fitting ad it creates a buildup or a dam inside the pipe reducing the flow. Always on the pipe not the inside of the fitting.also very important is a vacuum breaker or backflow preventer so you don’t suction contaminated water back into your house

Always nice to have water on the other side. Going to use this one. Thanks

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

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

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

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!

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

I built my own too. Strangely very satisfying :)

Fixing to do that, really needed to watch this, thanks

If you put cement on both pieces it slides in easier. Then give it a twist.

Good tutorial. Primer doesn't 'clean' the join, it softens and preps the PVC to accept cement. You need to make sure your joins are clean before priming and cementing.

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.

So nice to see Made in USA on the pipe

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!

Many thanks for sharing this video...stay blessed

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

if in a area that will freeze, consider blowing th line out with about 35-40 psi from an air compressor.

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!

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

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!!!!!

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

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

Nice video. Gave me some good ideas for my own outdoor water faucet project. Thanks!!!
