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.
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.☺️🥰👍🏽
I hope you didn't follow and do it the way this guy did. H did SOOO many things wrong and they will fail.
@@AztecWarrior69 hi, do you have a link on how to do this correctly. I just want to make sure…
@@OnceUponaNJGarden Of course not lol He just likes to point out what he thinks is wrong on youtube. Warrior's don't have time for that hahaha
@@OnceUponaNJGarden I don't think he did things wrong. And it probably works fine. I would just be a little more careful to not get grass or dirt on the fittings before cement. And I think it's recommended to give the pcv a quarter turn before cement dries.
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.
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.
Ithaca for the info. I'll try. But I expect to get a blank stare from employee when I ask, after looking myself.
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 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.
Do you leave the water flow from the main source of water open 24/7 ? Do you have any problemuwirh back flow?
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.
What's the proper name for that type of valve? I'd like to find it, but not sure how to look it up.
The only name I know for the valve is 'golfcourse drain'. Lowes had them in stock a couple years ago.
This is close to what I meant by golf course drain...these are availiable at Amazon. 'Orbit Irrigation 51039 1/2" Brass Auto Drain'. Also 'Orbit WaterMaster Underground 51241 3/4-Inch Plastic Auto Drain Valve'.
Good tip. Thanks!

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!
Cool, why I'm here!
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.
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 what TH-cam 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 👍🏼
Exactly what I was thinking, if there was no youtube or say a DIY video channel, my home would be a mess right now.
That’s why I’m here too! My boyfriend offered to make me an outdoor shower head... couldn’t conceptualize running the water line. Problem solved!
Installed mine today after watching your video. Simple and fast. Turned out very nice. Thank you. 👍
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
Excellent rambling and details and demonstration - thanks!
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 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.
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.
Fabulous, informative video. I have multiple hoses running from one spigot and it’s driving me crazy. Thank you Timothy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰
Thank you! I been wanting my husband to tackle this...now he can!
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. 👍
This is exactly what I didn't know I needed 🙂👍 Gonna use this method for off grid water supply. Thanks for the video!! 👍
Excellent instructional video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Good idea on the winter drain valve too.
Thank you! Thank you!! Great, straightforward and did not need a man’s help…except yours, Timothy DC 😉💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
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!
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.
It will last longer if you bury the PVC around 6" down. It doesn't hold up against sunlight very well. I suggest using galvanized pipe for the above ground portions, like where you come up to attach the hose or spigot.
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.
I am thinking about doinga same thing, but my pvc going under a addition, so ok for sun, but i live in a cold climate part, can get -15C( 5F.). what about that can it handle it ?
@@palangnar3588 well I will say that I have pvc plumbing under our old pier and beam farmhouse in central Texas and this winter when we had the bad freeze where the power grid failed and it was 14 degrees Fahrenheit for three days straight, I had a whole lot of pipes under the house burst. So if you’re not going to bury the pvc pipes, then you need to be sure to insulate them well, especially any horizontally oriented ones. However, you should also be sure to be able to access it to make repairs if they do end up bursting. I’m no expert, but I wonder how pex tubing does in exterior environments? I know it can expand with freezing temperatures but I don’t know if it’s appropriate for under the house/exposed environments.
@@kevinwhite4785 Thank you, yes winter make things bad, anyway i have been using water hose and only use it 7 months of the year, and shut the water down for fall and winter season , i wonder what type of pipes( any type) can handle the cold , very cold good !
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 being ‘real’ about this project. I think i could even follow the instructions here.
Good job mate 👍
Can you provide a list of the needed materials in the video description? I don't have very stable internet to watch the video.
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.
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.
Once he drains the line he can just close the valve. No need for anything to stop insects.
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!
Wow! that was a great 👍 idea! I am going to do that in my yard! Thank you so very much. Namaste 🙏
Had to come here again to refresh my memory to put in another line! Thanks again!
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.
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
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.
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.

great video I never thought about the drain but that's a great idea that I will use very helpful thanks!
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
Thank you for the summary in the beginning. I just needed to know the overall components
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.
Great advice for future wear & tear &/or Sun damage to allow for additional piping to be added LATER!!! #Great #Advice ...Makes perfect sense to Me

QUESTION: What is a great way to protect a project like this from extreme SUN HEAT: to lessen or avoid the Sun Damage all together. I'm in an area that the temperature in the summer can range from 95°-110° F!!! 👀👀👀😬😭😆🤣😁 I know that I can do this... All I need to know is: HOW?! Lol 🦸🏽♀️
Lol I did the same with the hose stretching and decided to add 4 hose bibs and I have 6 more to go.
Thanks for a very helpful video. I will be doing a project like this myself.
Thank you for checking out the video
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.🌹❤️
just remember to open the line during the winter
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.
You have a gift for explaining things. You are also careful and do your job well. Thanks for this video, it was very helpful.
Thank you! Progress. I'm learning. Rock on and run on water!
I smiled when you turned the knob and the water gushed out. Success! Great job!
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.
HAH ... had the same issue due to a deck that was installed later.
Please use pex it is so much easier bro and the fittings click together no need for glue and the make adapters for the hose .. save some time and money .. I used pex on a line like this and put it under rocks in the flower beds
@@ptravers9077 Some people like the idea of a snap-seal and others prefer things to be glue-sealed. I am certain there is a time and place for both. Perhaps you should get the opinion of a landscaper first.
@@GeoffreyHowells most definitely do own my own landscaping business. Lawn care in the summer commercial carpet cleaning in the winter so most of the time I am mowing or hitting g the floor with a crp moving dirt... and when it comes down to it PVC is old tech no one is using ...pex hose expands if frozen can be bent buried and moved unlike PVC.. hence why we use it in underground systems ... there is never a need for old tech when it is evident that better is out there for a cheaper price...
CRB danm auto correct
Now that is really cool !! Thanks for the video!
thank you. i was just talking about doing this...now I have a clear picture of what I need to do.
T tape is a necessity for any threaded end, other than a garden hose. They have a plastic seal/gasket inside.
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.
I appreciate you watching...even in the middle of the night.
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 !!
Plus after inserting the glued pvc parts together, give it a minimum of a 30 degree turn.
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 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! :)
Fantastic idea and thank you for sharing
Good job. I'm going to make one, but I'm going to spray paint my PVC green. That will make it blend in.
If you put cement on both pieces it slides in easier. Then give it a twist.
Very nice and well done I’m looking forward to running a water line to my workshop..
You will not regret that
Wow that’s a great idea 💡 thank you 🙏
Crazy impressive! Readying up to pipe up my farm. Thanks for the video!
Me: (watches video) .... 😳
6 hours later....no more 100 foot hose around the house and now have a new garden hose connection 😀
Nice work, this is a good full step by step video. Now I just have to get it done, ha.
Damn your skin is so smooth and glowy. Sorry out of topic...
Perfect! Just what I have been looking for to get water out to the garden and get rid of lugging the hoses. Thanks!
You can collect rain water in a food grade 55 gallon barrel install that valve on the bottom of the barrel and i save money on my water bill. I set the barrel up on 4 cinder blocks and cover the end of my downspout with cheesecloth and cover the top of the drum with the same use a bungee or 2 to gold it on the drum tight. Keeps debris and leaves out of my water. Win win
Just bought everything at lowes it was $75 im doing 60 ft ...i will finally have water on my back yard ..
I like it. Have the same issue. Will copy your plan. Thank you !!!
Great idea & the work was nicely done; thanks for sharing!
Very helpful and many thanks
Saving this video!!!!! I hope mine system is the same and I don't run into issues!
I see a honey do in my husband’s future. Thank you for sharing this.
Great, practical idea! Thanks.
Excellent Video!
It answered ally Questions as this was my next project & I had concerns about the NPT from the existing Spiget!
Thanks Again
Thanks for the video, very helpful and useful as well.
Nice job. Thank you for sharing
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 🌼
Excellent idea to add the valve for drainage. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. You have amazing skin BTW!!
So that's how you do it. Some great ideas. Thanks for the video/info.
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!
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.
What a neat idea & so useful!
This can also be easily adapted to make a pvc watering sprinkler system for the lawn too, I bet.
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...
Great job! Thanks for sharing it.
Running a hose bib on my porch to water the ferns. Tired of dragging the backyard hose to the front. Thanks
This was so helpful. Just what I needed. Thank
You!
Very nice! I hope it makes things easier for you.
So far so good. Thanks for watching
Lately, I seem to enjoy someone else doing the work... good video and added another project for the list
THIS! Thx so much!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Many thanks for sharing this video...stay blessed
