You need couplers to connect a garden hose to PVC.
There are various outdoor watering projects that require the connection of a standard garden hose to a pipe. When the pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), many people get flustered because they do not know the best way to attach it. The good news is that there is a simple connector that can be used to connect a hose to PVC in a matter of minutes. PVC is a durable plastic that will not degrade when exposed to the water from the hose. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Open a can of PVC cement and use the brush on the end of the cap to scoop up approximately 1 tsp. of cement.
2. Brush a thin layer of cement around the exterior perimeter of the PVC until it extends 1 inch from the edge.
3. Slide the smooth end of a swivel hose connector onto the PVC pipe until it stops. Use a bit of pressure as you do this, because it is designed to be a tight fit.
4. Allow the PVC cement to dry for the amount of time recommended on the product packaging.
5. Wrap a piece of Teflon tape around the outside of the female end of a garden hose two to three times. This tape helps to create a tighter seal and prevent leaks.
6. Insert the female end of a garden hose into the open end of the swivel hose connector and twist the outer nut on the connector clockwise to secure it to the hose.
