guys, put on a cheap plastic ball valve on the end of the pipe so you can just open and wash out the line with not need to remove it, etc.

I'll try to get a materials list around and get back to you! Thank you for watching!

It should be noted that the 1" slip to 3/4" thread will not adapt to the garden hose. PVC is NPT. Garden hose, I think, is NIFT. They are different thread sizes and you may need a special adapter.

For the connection to the pvc, I think you are saying we need a 3/4” female NPT thread with 3/4” barb (for hose and clamp), right? Then the other connection is a 3/4” female GHT thread with 3/4” barb (for hose and clamp). I think the video did not clarify that but that is what I am seeing is needed since the garden hose and pvc threads are GHT and NPT respectively. Thanks!

Great system, just one note about gluing, always use primer as that creates a chemical reaction that melts the two pieces together and put glue on both ends. Give it a twist to get contact and wipe the excess off on the outside as it will form a crust leaving the inside to keep melting the fitting making it brittle. Enjoyed your video

Do you have any problem with freezing

We only use it spring through summer, typically. We have had one nipple pop out due to an early spring freeze. I'm sure it would freeze in the heart of winter.

I’m following your system exactly but ran into a problem. I drilled a hole 3/8 but it was too big. I can put the nipple in and pluck it out with no effort. So I went down to 5/16 but the nipples broke with no effort. I think I ordered cheap Chinese crap. Is there any way you can share your nipple order?
