Q:Does this require PVC cement or plumbers tape or can I just screw the pieces together for my underground sprinkler system?

1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  No glue is required. We recommend plumbers tape to help with a tighter seal but it will work without.

    Q:Can this be used to connect the water supply faucet to the sprinkler system?

    Answer This Question

    A:  This wont connect over the water supply outlet directly, I use it to connect a threaded PVC to another PVC.

      A:  Your question is not clear. If you are questioning whether it can be connected to an outdoor faucet (aka hose bib), NO. The bib is an NH (National hose), this is an NPT (National Pipe Thread). Different thread sizes. Separately, you should not connect an outdoor faucet to an underground system. Perhaps never, but if you figure out a way to do it threadwise please put a backflow preventer at the end of the bib.

      Q:Why is this product good for outdoor use with cold water only? What happens if it is used indoors?
      by|May 6, 2017

      Answer This Question

      A:  The issue with indoor use is due to the chemicals in the plastic. You want to make sure the PVC won't release anything hazardous in your drinking water.

      by|Jul 17, 2020

        A:  Buzz, it has only been tested for use in an outdoor application with cold water, and so we can't recommend that you use it in any other manner.

        by|May 4, 2023

          A:  Sched 40 PVC has conflicting literature about is use for potable water. Never for hot though! Dont see it now but did read somewhere that this type of thread may not support the high pressures you can get on occasion indoor, and the risk of damage to carpets, floors, ceilings, and in-wall water is far greater than a leak outside. If you had to use it inside, find a brass connector and dont hide in a wall, floor, or ceiling.

            Springtime sprinkler repairs here in the Rockies! The long winters wear out the sprinkler connections and head, so off to HD for more parts. Needed to add some extensions for a garden addition and these couplings really did the job. Solidly built and should last many years.

              The coupling give me flexibility to extend the sprinkler riser when I needed it. Then convert it back if needed.
