How To Connect A PVC Pipe To An Outdoor Tap/Faucet

Step by step instructions for connecting a PVC pipe to an outdoor tap.

I see this type of connection a lot in my business. Homeowners want to connect a line with constant pressure to a greenhouse, garden spot, or lawn area. Video covers how to make this type of connection.

Links to items mentioned in the video:

On a connection of this type make sure the tap has some type of backflow prevention to keep water from being able to enter the home.

I've learned a lot about putting irrigation pipe together, but my husband and BIL have given me tips and instructions on connecting different brands and types of connections. It's nice to sit here and watch someone else do it their way. Good video!

Thank you so very much. You were concise and went slowly. I am 65 years old and never done any plumbing. Now I can confidently do this. So very grateful and am now a subscriber now!!

Just what I needed to see. Simple steps to transition from faucet to irrigation system. Saved me a lot of time. Very clever and sustainable. Thank you.

So simple even a city greenhorn like myself can work this out. Great vid, excellent pace, no superfluous info which might muddy the waters (pun intended). Making list for _le bricolage_ .

Absolutely amazing this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you sir so very much. The wisest thing to do with wisdom is to share it. ✝️🇺🇸

Thought my husband was slipping a cog when he mentioned doing something like this. Thanks for making this video and explaining how to do this in an easy fashion.

Doing this project now. I am having an underground sprinkler guy trench a pipe from my faucet to the garden, about a 100 feet. I was not sure how to connect the pvc pipe to the metal faucet. I DO NOW. thank you.

[tmontero]

Very well-presented and clear -- do need to see how to install the new tap at the other end. I'll check out your other videos. Thanks very much!

[gracieferguson]

Thank you fir sharing and getting to the point. I don’t have patience for endless talking

iScaper your videos are great.  Your instructions are easy to follow and understand.  I like that you have popups that specify the exact names of fittings etc.  I've learned a lot and feel confident that I can do these projects myself.  Thank you.

Thanks, great explanation. Easy to understand and best of all NO STUPID MUSIC.

I was about to follow this clip to make connection between water valve to PCV but I found at home depot a flexible Dura pvc repair coupling that work as well but more simple. Dura makes 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch coupling (18 inch long). You can use an Orbit slip fitting (at sprinkler isle section of home depot ) to connect to garden valve and some pvc fittings to make the connection to the pvc on the ground.

According to my sprinkler book, I measured the copper wire with string and it said its 3/4". So that means I only need one zone. Thanks for your help!

[RandyBraatz]

Great solution!  The braided flex line was exactly what I needed to make this work. Thank you!
