The best tip ever...You have the two cans (primer and adhesive) taped together making them less likely to tip over and spill. Brilliant! I have knocked over so many cans over the years it isn't funny. I will be taping my cans together from now on! I usually buy adhesive and primer the old fashioned way: One can of each to knock over under the house, and a second set of cans to glue my pipes together, ha ha. This trick will cut my purchase price in half!!
This works perfect.I fought with an old 3/4" brass barbed fitting for a few days fighting leaks. I bought a plastic 3/4" barb fitting, knocked it into the poly pipe, installed a hose clamp and no more leaks. Thank you.
You are correct, I could have used a female adapter. When I transition from PVC to other pipe types, especially galvanized, I usually like to use bushings with a coupling. That way instead of a female adapter being the weakest point of the transition, the coupling with bushings becomes the strongest point. Also if you over tighten a female adapter you can spread the threads or stress the fitting enough that it will fail later.
1. Not sure what you mean by a PCP adapter. 2. I identify the 3/4" insert male adapter at 1:29 in the video and it is annotated at 5:12 in the video. 3. If a clamp is not used to tighten the poly pipe against the insert adapter, the fitting will leak or the pipe will blow off the fitting. 4. Primer takes the sheen off the pipe, cleans the pipe, and softens the pipe for a good chemical bond. 5. Clear glue is a good glue to use in PVC applications, I just prefer to use blue glue.
WD-40 is a water displacer (hence, the "WD" in the product name). I use a heat gun. Works great every time! Don't over-heat the poly pipe though... 10 seconds or so is all it takes, and keep the end of the heat gun moving. Don't leave it on any one spot too long.
Thanks. Do you have a list of these parts? I am connecting 1.5" polypropylene sink trap tailpiece to 1" HDPE pipe and Oatey does not make a cement... Or, I'll take notes and convert. Thanks again.
Just use a compression adapter, all you do is glue it in to your pvc and slide your poly tube into the compression adapter and done. You can get the compression adapter from irrigation companies on line, they have 1/2", 3/4" etc. The 1/2" compression adapter is only about 20 cents a piece.
Great information! If I can't find the pieces I need at HD, there is an irrigation store in the area that would have it. Hopefully this info is helpful to other viewers for locations to research in their areas.
+Lee Stensrud After doing a web search it looks like Lowes carries more of the fittings than Home Depot. Here's a link that might help: www.lowes.com/Search=poly+insert+fitting?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=poly+insert+fitting#! A lot of sprinkler supply stores carry them also. If your in the Salt Lake valley you could try Peterson Plumbing Supply, Sprinkler World, Mountain States Supply, or England Plumbing.
We've used that same setup 2 times and both have leaked a few years later, always from where that hose clamp is. Those are meant for soft rubber hoses, not hard, and not supposed to be underground.
Had to hook up water pipe for my mobile home inspection.... I used a 3/4 polybutylene to 3/4 pvc sharkbite brass press in type adapter grey on one side (poly)and yellow on the other (cpvc)...then a stick of cpvc to another coupler which is a 3/4 to 3/4 cpvc to pvc adapter....then you just hook up your white pvc pipe to the big end of that small coupler!!! It just cost me like $18 and some change at home depot cause I bought a sharkbite coupler disconnect tool... Make sure the sharkbite coupler is grey on one side and yellowish on the other side.. Have any questions...hit me up...
Great video, thank you. This helped greatly. Quick question; what glue/primer do you use? I found some old primer in my garage, but what glue do you use? I am thinking of buying Christy's Red Hot Blue glue, is that OK? The brand of primer in my garage is Christy's.
Thank you for all of the great sprinkler videos. Is there a good reason to use pvc vs polypipe for yard irrigation? The house we just moved into has polypipe throughout the yard, a lot even above ground. I need to trench and bury everything that’s above ground. Would it be beneficial to convert to pvc while I’m at it?
@Webkraller First off..don't use wd-40 if this maybe for a fresh water that feeds into your house.. that's not good.. 2nd use what's called a ford coupling..its compression so all u will need is 2 channel locks and about 3mins of your day....
Hi any idea how I can go from 1/2 cpvc to aquarium air line tubing? I want to install a drip system for my aquarium but can't figure out how to properly tap into the cpvc without leaks
One way is to drill a hole directly into the CPVC pipe and thread the hole to accept your air line tubing valve. You could also try and find a threaded bushing that would from 1/2" cpvc to 1/4" FIPT (Female Iron Pipe Thread). Then thread a valve with a 1/4" MIPT threads into the bushing that has an outlet for the drip system, similar to the valves in this link: www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=8165&cmpid=03cseYY&gclid=CjwKEAjw7svABRCi_KPzoPr53QoSJAABSvxfLGxoTL-6W6lR6pDZweDYg00oPOF1Ny1ftV3kou_AhBoCR07w_wcB
Good video! I am about to transition some lines the same way. Isn't it possible to buy a poly male adapter that transitions in one solid piece to fit the pvc pipe?
+Rodney Morton You could use a Pex male adapter on the Pex pipe and a PVC female adapter on the PVC pipe, although on the PVC side I would use a coupling and threaded bushing instead of a female adapter. It's too easy to crack or stretch the threads on a PVC female adapter. Be aware that PVC pipe is not rated for hot water, but CPVC is.
Much too complicated. Use a DIG #207 (1/2") or #5707 (3/4) into a PVC connector, glue the connector to the PVC and insert .700 poly drip. Clean and simple.
Black poly pipe has a different OD than PVC, that's why you need the barb to male adapter fitting to make the transition. What kind of compression fitting are you referring to?
If you're transitioning from PVC to Poly pipe make sure the PVC pipe is the same size or a size bigger than the Poly pipe. Also use as few elbows as possible when connecting the pipes.
+Daniel Johns I've never had good luck using PVC male or female adapters. They split and crack too easily. That's why I went with a PVC 1" x 3/4" bushing (Slip x Thread) glued into a 1" coupling, then a 1" x 3/4" bushing (Slip x Slip) glued into the opposite end of the 1" coupling. It makes the transition much stronger.
It should say on the if it's recommended for plastic threaded connections. My favorites are Blue Magic Pipe Joint Compound and Oatey Great White Pipe Joint Compound.
The automotive industry has been using the same plastic for fuel tanks and fuel lines for over 3 decades now, so a little spray lubricant isn't going to harm the plastic water lines.
+Chad warhold I don't think a PEX fitting would work on Poly pipe. 3/4" PEX pipe has an OD (outside diameter) of 0.875" and an ID (inside diameter) of 0.681". 3/4" 160psi Poly pipe has and OD of 0.916" and an ID of 0.824". The inside and outside diameters of the pipes would need to be the same for a PEX fitting to work on Poly pipe. I would use a poly insert barb adapter.
Instead of the lubricant on the barb, I recommend using a lighter to gently heat the end of the poly pipe so that it slightly softens so the barb enters it easily. Then use a pinch clip, not hose clamp, to secure.
Please explain your tech with putting primer on afterwards. The primer is purple right? Im not a plumber and I don't know if I've been doing it wrong. I always put the primer (purple stuff) on then wait about 20 sec then put glue on both sides then wait 20 sec then twist together. Am I doing it wrong? Somebody Please!
+Phlop Alopagus Waiting on the primer is okay but you want to assemble the glue joints immediately after applying the glue. 20 seconds is too long to wait on some fast set glue types.
Hmmm. Not so sure about that. Are you saying the ID of a plastic insert fitting is less than a metal one? The OD would have to be the same to fit the poly tubing.
I was trying to figure out the same thing. Usually the hoses are heated with a gun, very hot water (boiling) or in a pinch just laying it out on the concrete on a hot summers day (10-15min). It's never easy to get them on but it makes a huge difference. WD40 though...
Same type of plastic is used in the automotive industry, fuel tanks, fuel lines. So any spray lubricant isn't harmful to the plastic. And you don't run the risk of melting the line by using a heat source and weakin the plastic.
I believe I've tried to do this, using only a double ended barbed fitting (there was a leak in the poly pipe, so we removed a small section, maybe 3/4"). But I can't get the hose clamps tight enough to keep the repair from leaking. This poly line is buried ~ 2', and services a frost free hydrant, so I'm assuming it has a moderate to high pressure. We need help soon, this is part of lawn sprinkler system, and we need to water soon. :( Thank you!
You may need to cut out a bigger section and use 2 barbed couplings for the repair. Take a 2’ piece of new pipe and push the couplings into each end. Dish soap on the fittings and inside the pipe make this easier. Make sure the pipe pushes onto the almost the center of each coupling. Then I would use 2 hose clamps on each coupling. Instead of a screwdriver try a small ratchet and 5/16” socket to tighten the hose clamps. Careful not to strip out the hose clamps. Next push one end of the 2’ piece of repair pipe with coupling into your pipe in the ground. Remember the soap. Then line up the other end with the end of the pipe in the ground. Make a cut if needed. Slide 2 hose clamp over the pipe in the ground. Put a slight bow in the 2’ piece of pipe to get the last coupling started. Push in and tighten the last 2 pipe clamps. I hope this helps and let me know if it works.
Yes, most drip circuits operate at 30psi so I would install a pressure reducer with a filter. I like the Rain Bird part# PRF-075-RBY. It is a combination pressure reducer & filter.
I have a poly pipe 1" just like this, and I need connect to a PVC pipe that will be under ground, is that ok use 1 1/2 after? (1" poly pipe to 1 1/2" PVC pipe 40) It works? Will I loose pression? Thks guys 🙆
Glue a 1-1/2" coupling onto the 1-1/2" PVC pipe then glue a 1-1/2" x 1" bushing SxT (Slip x Thread) into the coupling. Thread a 1" insert male adapter into the bushing. Use teflon paste or thread tape on the male adapter.
@@Iscaper thank you, my concerns is about the sizes. My source is coming in a 1" poly pipe, I don't have a lot of pressure in this poly pipe, so, is okay connect in a 1 1/2" PVC pipe after 1" poly pipe? 1 1/4 should be better? Or I can go with 1" PVC pipe? It's because I never saw videos here with people using 1" PVC , I don't know if it's good. Thank for your help
@@ellies1877 If your supply line to the sprinklers is 1" poly you would be fine using 1" PVC pipe. I prefer PVC pipe and fittings over poly pipe and fittings in my sprinkler work.
In video, 3/4" poly pipe is connected to 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC pipe. If you want to connect 3/4" poly to 1/2" PVC pipe, glue a 3/4" x 1/2" bushing (Slip x Slip) into the 3/4" coupling.
You could use a poly insert 3/4" male adapter for the poly pipe, and attach a 3/4" FIPT x 3/4" MHT adapter to the poly insert male adapter. Attach your garden hose to this adapter. Here's a link: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-MHT-x-3-4-in-FIP-Brass-Adapter-Fitting-801759/300096107

With non pressure pipes like drain lines primer isn't required with Christy's. I like to use primer with pressurized pipe and fittings because the primer removes the sheen, cleans, and softens so that there is a good chemical bond after applying the glue.
+Alan Fox Most fittings for PVC are IPS (Iron Pipe Size), so if you can get a fitting for the ductile iron in IPS size the connection to PVC should work.
+Alan Fox I've done galvanized to PVC transitions with good luck but not ductile iron. The only ductile iron I've worked with was larger size (6") for water mains. The transition fittings are the key. The weak point from a rigid piping like galvanized or ductile iron to PVC is the transition fittings. I don't use male or female adapters in PVC because it's too easy to split or crack them. I like to use threaded bushings with couplings to make the transition fittings stronger. For example, if you have a 1" IPS male adapter fitting on the ductile iron end, I would use a 1-1/4 x 1" PVC threaded bushing with 1-1/4" PVC coupling and a 1-1/4" x 1" PVC slip coupling. Glue the bushings into the 1-1/4" coupling. The threaded end of the bushing would then be threaded onto the ductile iron adapter and the opposite end would accept 1" PVC pipe.
Where the FUCK do you find those male to barb fittings?? I mean why THE FUCK is that the holy graile of fittings? I go to Home Depot/Lowes/Ace and ask them for a threaded male pvc to barb fitting and its like I asked them direction to the fountain of youth. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give a good source for those fittings. Thank you.
+XCyclonusX They may not know what you're talking about. You need to ask for Poly Insert Fittings for Poly Pipe. I went to the Home Depot and Lowes websites and typed "Poly Insert Fitting" into their search box and did get results. Home Depot only had a few, but Lowes had a number of the fittings. The Ace website showed no results for poly insert fittings. Here's a link to the Lowes site: www.lowes.com/Search=poly+insert+fitting?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=poly+insert+fitting#!
Only problem with that is the ones I found at HD/and Lowes are for threading into metal female adapters. They don't thread into pvc female fittings and they don't have the slip x barb. Thanks though for understanding my frustration. I can always get what I want from Amazon but with a minimum of a 5 day shipping wait I need to get it right the first time, and with shipping its like 10x more than I'd pay from a local store.
+XCyclonusX The poly insert adapters work on both galvanized and PVC female fittings because the fittings are IPS thread. This 3/4" insert male adapter from Lowes: www.lowes.com/pd_22539-322-350407___?productId=3455128&pl=1&Ntt=poly+insert+fitting will work on a galvanized or PVC female adapter.
That metal threaded pipe insert creates a bottle neck in the pipe, essentially reducing it to 1/2." The stainless steal clamp will rust away. The WD-40 can't be good for the plastic materials, spit is better. Have a nice day.
You need a threaded IPS fitting to make the transition from insert to PVC. The way you describe would leak and water pressure would blow the insert fitting out of the PVC fitting.
this looks very very unnecessary! 3/4 barbed edge to 1/2 inch female adapter. attached to flex pipe. then attached to 3/4 barbed edge to 1/2 inch male adapter. Oh ya heat the ends of the flex pipe then insert the barbed ends along with the clamps.

Much too complicated. Use a DIG #207 (1/2") or #5707 (3/4) into a PVC connector, glue the connector to the PVC and insert .700 poly drip. Clean and simple.

But I can't get the hose clamps tight enough to keep the repair from leaking. This poly line is buried ~ 2', and services a frost free hydrant, so I'm assuming it has a moderate to high pressure. We need help soon, this is part of lawn sprinkler system, and we need to water soon. :( Thank you!
You may need to cut out a bigger section and use 2 barbed couplings for the repair. Take a 2’ piece of new pipe and push the couplings into each end. Dish soap on the fittings and inside the pipe make this easier. Make sure the pipe pushes onto the almost the center of each coupling. Then I would use 2 hose clamps on each coupling. Instead of a screwdriver try a small ratchet and 5/16” socket to tighten the hose clamps. Careful not to strip out the hose clamps. Next push one end of the 2’ piece of repair pipe with coupling into your pipe in the ground. Remember the soap. Then line up the other end with the end of the pipe in the ground. Make a cut if needed. Slide 2 hose clamp over the pipe in the ground. Put a slight bow in the 2’ piece of pipe to get the last coupling started. Push in and tighten the last 2 pipe clamps. I hope this helps and let me know if it works.
How would you connect Poly to PEX pipe?
Easiest way if you're using 3/4" poly pipe is to use a 3/4" insert male adapter in the poly pipe and connect it to a 3/4" Pex female adapter.
I usually DOUBLE CLAMP it
Good tip, thanks for posting.
Or a in line filter???
Yes, most drip circuits operate at 30psi so I would install a pressure reducer with a filter. I like the Rain Bird part# PRF-075-RBY. It is a combination pressure reducer & filter.
I have a poly pipe 1" just like this, and I need connect to a PVC pipe that will be under ground, is that ok use 1 1/2 after? (1" poly pipe to 1 1/2" PVC pipe 40) It works? Will I loose pression?
Thks guys 🙆
Glue a 1-1/2" coupling onto the 1-1/2" PVC pipe then glue a 1-1/2" x 1" bushing SxT (Slip x Thread) into the coupling. Thread a 1" insert male adapter into the bushing. Use teflon paste or thread tape on the male adapter.
@@Iscaper thank you, my concerns is about the sizes. My source is coming in a 1" poly pipe, I don't have a lot of pressure in this poly pipe, so, is okay connect in a 1 1/2" PVC pipe after 1" poly pipe? 1 1/4 should be better? Or I can go with 1" PVC pipe? It's because I never saw videos here with people using 1" PVC , I don't know if it's good.
Thank for your help
@@ellies1877 If your supply line to the sprinklers is 1" poly you would be fine using 1" PVC pipe. I prefer PVC pipe and fittings over poly pipe and fittings in my sprinkler work.
Can a guy get all this from lowes or Home Depot?
Cody Farmer yes
I agree with your reasoning... however his name is unibomber. Therefore he wins.
so poly 3/4 to pvc 1/2 inch? 🤔
In video, 3/4" poly pipe is connected to 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC pipe. If you want to connect 3/4" poly to 1/2" PVC pipe, glue a 3/4" x 1/2" bushing (Slip x Slip) into the 3/4" coupling.
You only need one fitting for this project glue × barb female adapter.
I don't use female or male adapter fittings in PVC because of how easy it is to split the threads.
You should only use Teflon tape on plastic pipes.
No, not a good idea at all. Thread sealant should be used.
wow! way to use 4 fittings when you could of done it in one. try a pvc to polly adapter next time. Barb on one end and pvc solvent female on the other
I would not use WD-40 to lubricate. It will corrode the plastic. Like he said, use dish soap.
Or KY
PoijhvcTheHelvetican
DONT USE ANYTHING. HEAT POLY UP A TINY BIT WITH A TORCH. BARBS WILL SLIDE RIGHT IN. TIGHTEN CLAMP WHILE ITS STILL WARM.
This is the old way. They make a poly tube adapter that glues into a pvc coupler. Just push the poly into the pvc. Less parts and time
Good information, thanks for posting.
you should be aware that WD-40 is a metal conditioner, and can damage some plastics.
What about poly pipe to a garden hose?
You could use a poly insert 3/4" male adapter for the poly pipe, and attach a 3/4" FIPT x 3/4" MHT adapter to the poly insert male adapter. Attach your garden hose to this adapter.

Should be renamed "How to connect Poly pipe to PVC pipe in the most complicated way"
Wondering why you use primer with blue glue.
With non pressure pipes like drain lines primer isn't required with Christy's. I like to use primer with pressurized pipe and fittings because the primer removes the sheen, cleans, and softens so that there is a good chemical bond after applying the glue.
It will leak with that hose clamp
Use double
How about DIP to PVC?

I need more info on what you mean by DIP.
Ductile Iron Pipe
+Alan Fox
Most fittings for PVC are IPS (Iron Pipe Size), so if you can get a fitting for the ductile iron in IPS size the connection to PVC should work.
Will this work with domestic pressure water supply?
+Alan Fox
I've done galvanized to PVC transitions with good luck but not ductile iron. The only ductile iron I've worked with was larger size (6") for water mains. The transition fittings are the key. The weak point from a rigid piping like galvanized or ductile iron to PVC is the transition fittings. I don't use male or female adapters in PVC because it's too easy to split or crack them. I like to use threaded bushings with couplings to make the transition fittings stronger. For example, if you have a 1" IPS male adapter fitting on the ductile iron end, I would use a 1-1/4 x 1" PVC threaded bushing with 1-1/4" PVC coupling and a 1-1/4" x 1" PVC slip coupling. Glue the bushings into the 1-1/4" coupling. The threaded end of the bushing would then be threaded onto the ductile iron adapter and the opposite end would accept 1" PVC pipe.
not the way i would do it!!! only use ALL this stuff if it's all you got...
how about tee
You could glue a threaded bushing into the tee.
That clamp will rust in a couple years.....
It's stainless steel
Video is 100 times better sped up 🐢
Where the FUCK do you find those male to barb fittings?? I mean why THE FUCK is that the holy graile of fittings? I go to Home Depot/Lowes/Ace and ask them for a threaded male pvc to barb fitting and its like I asked them direction to the fountain of youth. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give a good source for those fittings. Thank you.
+XCyclonusX
They may not know what you're talking about. You need to ask for Poly Insert Fittings for Poly Pipe. I went to the Home Depot and Lowes websites and typed "Poly Insert Fitting" into their search box and did get results. Home Depot only had a few, but Lowes had a number of the fittings. The Ace website showed no results for poly insert fittings. Here's a link to the Lowes site: www.lowes.com/Search=poly+insert+fitting?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=poly+insert+fitting#!
Only problem with that is the ones I found at HD/and Lowes are for threading into metal female adapters. They don't thread into pvc female fittings and they don't have the slip x barb. Thanks though for understanding my frustration. I can always get what I want from Amazon but with a minimum of a 5 day shipping wait I need to get it right the first time, and with shipping its like 10x more than I'd pay from a local store.
+XCyclonusX
The poly insert adapters work on both galvanized and PVC female fittings because the fittings are IPS thread. This 3/4" insert male adapter from Lowes: www.lowes.com/pd_22539-322-350407___?productId=3455128&pl=1&Ntt=poly+insert+fitting will work on a galvanized or PVC female adapter.
Yea home Depot doesn't carry them..try an ace..true value store
@@jayc4715 LOL can't remember why this was so important to me, but I sound a little unhinged. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. :)
Hopefully wd40 didn't damage the grass
That metal threaded pipe insert creates a bottle neck in the pipe, essentially reducing it to 1/2." The stainless steal clamp will rust away. The WD-40 can't be good for the plastic materials, spit is better. Have a nice day.
sure lets use WD40 on the irrigation line i'll be using for my vegetables.
I was thinking elbow grease would work just fine.
flip D I was also worried about the glue being toxic if I was using it for irrigation purposes.
Yes p
Can't you just put the barb onto the PVC pipe directly instead of all these conversions? Seems really wasteful to do it this way.
You need a threaded IPS fitting to make the transition from insert to PVC. The way you describe would leak and water pressure would blow the insert fitting out of the PVC fitting.
iScaper1 thank you!
You yanks with your imperial fark, not your fault though I understand it’s from the 1%
heat the pipe!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing.. heat the poly pipe up and push.. much easier than hitting it with a hammer
Here is easier form ua-cam.com/video/J1ozyeK_AXM/v-deo.html
Thank you but your video was no help to me
this looks very very unnecessary! 3/4 barbed edge to 1/2 inch female adapter. attached to flex pipe. then attached to 3/4 barbed edge to 1/2 inch male adapter. Oh ya heat the ends of the flex pipe then insert the barbed ends along with the clamps.
