I'm not quite sure how buying 6 fittings and the other parts needed and spending all that time is better than just buying the 6 way fitting in the first place. Even if the exact fitting is not available it would be much better to make a manifold out of tees.
A greed
This way will be used when lacking
This system is much better than the tee or accessory 6. since it greatly reduces the loss of pressure to several users
I think the point is in some parts of the world full selection of parts might not be available and you have to figure it out
It's really a video of how to turn a 5 minute job into 1 hour. If you really did not want to buy a 6-way and maybe one elbow, you would attach four 3-ways in parallel and be done in 10 minutes.
You can buy o-rings to fit that half inch conn. However the seal should be on the inside and not the outside.
Pregúntame yo Acaso no hace la misma función el sellado en el interior que el exterior
Sale más barato y más fácil comprar la corona.
Agregado que ahora losntubos tienen una elevación. Mas propensos a romperse y quue el "adaptador" ocupa muchísimo mas espacio.
Pensé lo mismo, me ahorro el esfuerzo y pagar más con tanto material que requiere
I saved 92 cents with this. It took me 2 hours but now I have 92 cents to spend on something else....Love this Hack, Not the process just the person.
or you could just use one 4-way adapter (1 up, 3 in a T formation) and join two 3-way Ts to the left and right of the 4-2ay adapter for a configuration of in coming from the top, out going east, west, south, south, south. Much easer than this contraption
Exactly what I was picturing in my mind.
The piece you built is not rated for high water pressure. It will fail very quickly. Best bet is to build a manifold using tees. Sure, it may cost more than a six way (because they are hard to find) but it won't fail.
What's the cost difference between this and buying 6 way adapter?
The difference is not being able to make a video showing that your time isn't worth anything.
May not be able to obtain the 6 way adapter or may cost too much for it. not everyone has a The Home Depot or Lowes in their backyard.
@@mrnapolean1 It's not fair to use logic to support your views! Besides, it makes it really difficult to argue when you make sense. 😉
Actually now that I think about it, I've never seen a 6 way adapter for sale anywhere.
Needs something to drain water out of bottom of the manifold. First Global Warming freeze in Texas and that thing cracks like a bad Demonrat melon.
...fantastico..practico y eficiente. Esto ayuda a pensar...saludos.
Gracias, saludos cordiales.
lo q voy a decir es que lo que usted ha hecho es un buen trabajo. Muchos de los comentarios en inglés dicen que no vale la pena hacerlo como usted lo ha hecho, pero muchos de los comentarios no saben q no se puede conseguir esas partes especiales en LATAM. buen trabajo, fue un gusto mirar este video
Me alegro leer su comentario, muchas gracias N. Gawlinski
Isn't it easier to just buy the adaptor? And cheaper too!
Agree. Probably intended for someone with too much time on their hands.
It depends on the area. If you're doing irrigation work in the boonies, or your local Hopeless Despot(Home Depot) doesn't have the part, this might be what the video is aimed at. I still would have replaced the innertube with actual rubber washers, but that's me.
Great idea, 👍👌
You don't really need a seal either - just cement the fittings into the distribution box when you screw everything together.
You are a genius!!!!!!!!!!! Keep inventing!
Perfecto senor🤠👍
Nice video ok
Thank you 🤗
I think I would buy the adapter than this much work . Great idea though . Good presentation.
This system is much better than the tee or accessory 6. since it greatly reduces the loss of pressure to several users
Felicitats, una ejecució perfecte i pràctica
Muchas gracias, bienvenido
So instead of buying the 5 way adapter, we will need 5 male adapters, 5 female, a bike tire, a step drill, 2 4" caps, a heat gun, and an angle grinder....
Fair enough, but this seems aimed more at back woods MacGuyvering when you either can't easily get to a hardware/plumbing store, or the ones you CAN get to don't stock the part you need. Still, I would have gotten a pack of rubber washers instead of the bike tire, but that's me. It was interesting and informative, but I think there was probably a better way to implement that didn't leave a trap for standing water at the bottom.
I love creativity when the other options aren't available. But well said man. The individual parts add up quick
how silly can you get? all that work rather than just use the adapter. your assuming people have a scrap piece of 4" pvc laying around and a couple of 4" caps. i'd be willing to bet the price of those 2 caps would offset the price of the adapter, correct me if i'm wrong, not too mention all the labor.
Well done to you mate it was a good job but it was a good idea to clean pipes before apply solvent weld (pvc pipe cement) and used proper rubber washer.
You should not use schedule 20 pipe for pressured water. It is for waste drain and vent. The walls are too thin. The 4 “ pipe and cap are schedule 20.
This process is much more costly and more involved then using 1 connecter.
You make very good videos, congratulations. 👍
I'm glad you like the video friend, thank you very much!
awesome, more pipes can still be connected this way
Yes of course you can join more tubes, thank you very much my friend!
Very Interesting Video Thank You!
Thank you My friend
Muy buena idea gracias por compartir
Excelente truco de, plomeria
Muchas gracias
If you find yourself in a situation where you need this, rip it all out and figure out where you went wrong.
Great idea, thank you
thanks
Could have done the same with four "T"s and two unions quicker and cheaper, and less likely to leak
great, excellent, wonderfull ...
Thanks
So, a few points:
This is not remarkable. You just made a distribution box.
You modified fittings, which is a no-no in nearly all code jurisdictions.
The parts cost alone is way more than a six way fitting.
The time spent modifying all these parts and putting them together is probably more than what it would have taken to get a six way at the local hardware store.
The distribution box is made of substantially thinner material than the pipes, so you just invalidated the pressure rating of the entire system.
The only benefit of this is that it will likely distribute more evenly than a six way 5 it is basically just a small low-pressure tank.
Interesting but it's definitely not worth the effort.
MANTAP VIDEONYA....done sb
So you spent three times as much to have an adapter you made, that leaks like crazy. Great job showing why you should just buy an adapter instead of wasting your time doing this.
If it was the end of the world scenario, I could see this becoming worth doing. Though I would rather buy a figure 5 fitting. A few things your 3 or 4 inch pipe is thin wall so therefore, it wouldn't hold up to pressure water. I also think that you bought sewer pipe for potable water instead of pressure PVC. The next thing is you didn't use primer or the correct glue for potable water. Also, even though you put made washers in that it will not hold for long. You should have used pipe dope and Teflon tape as well as the washers. You don't have to take my word for it. I've just been plumbing for 25 years. 😊
Hola, he visto muchos proyectos de plomeros o fontaneros con P.V.C. pero hasta ahora no e visto ninguno que haya hecho alguno de llevar una T a un angular
great work
Thank you so much.
Another great idea amigo, thx for sharing, stay safe n connected
Parabéns pela dica gostei 💯
I bet it makes a beautiful waterfall.
Merci beaucoup vraiment
De rien, au contraire, merci d'avoir regardé les vidéos l'ami.
Thank you for the value you bring to people! Thanks for all the good things! Let's create more useful content! good health and good luck !
This is not a good way to do this. Please stop encouraging work like this.
Chinese hacks thanking Chinese hacks.
At the cost of the PVC adapters, the pipe, and end caps I bet you can buy the 6-way adapter cheaper
Doesn't that lower the pressure coming out of every single tube by going into a larger expanded area before separating?
Yep, this guy doesn’t know the physics of fluid dynamics…
No, it doesn't. Once the system is full and pressurized, it's the same. If anything it will decrease the fluid friction to each tap.
It still doesn't seem worth it to me. I would use a manifold of tees like mentioned by others.
nice but i think i would have done this using some t fittings
Wow, that was a great video. You must be a professional I was wondering how all that was going to work out great job.
I look at these videos as another way to do things. And creativity along with expertise is always valuable. Not everything should have a dollar amount attached to it
You can get the same results with a few Tee's and Elbow's 🙂
But will it have equal water pressure to all the output ends? This has a trap for standing water at the bottom which isn't ideal, but it does allow for a resevoir and pressure to build so the water more evenly flows down all the outlets.
6-way PVC adapter: $24. All the fittings and gasket materials, and other miscellaneous PVC pipes: $60. Hmm 😅😊😂
Longer and more expensive than buying a 6way adapter
4 out of 5, not bad.
I would not have sealed the top with the glue because with the water there's gonna form all kinds of mold inside there that's gonna need to be cleaned out eventually. Not sure how much the adapter would cost but it couldn't have been much more than all that extra plastic that you purchased. It is an intriguing idea but again I would not have sealed the top because all that mold that's gonna form inside there it's gonna have to be cleaned out often
Should have shown it pressure tested. Bet it would leak. And now that the top and bottom caps are glued no way to service the screwed fittings if they loosen over time
Seems clever, but only if it was expedient to get it done and no 6 way adapter was available.
Genial
Gracias
Nice idea, but just buy the adapter. Your time is worth more than this project cost you.
Which, since there is no such thing, is why you would need to take this approach :-)
Congratulations you just spent $40 and 30 minutes getting out of using a $4 adapter
For $22 you can buy a 10 pack of 6-way adaptors at Amazon, delivered tomorrow. The cost of doing this whole ting would be a higher price, plus the time it took you to make it (figure an hour at least), plus the rubber gaskets are going to be your big failure point here. If this is all you had to work with then at least you can do it; however, it isn't along term solution for something that will last. This falls under the Mad Max world where you cannot get the proper things at all.
The output stream is not strong, since the input pipe is small
*GENIUS!*
Add generators to those pipes and you can charge your cell phone or run small electrical devices and lights.
Super
Thanks
so thin pipe...this is good for rain...not a house use 😅
Yep... that'll meet code..😂🤣🤔😎👌
I think id just design it and then 3D print it. If you don’t have a 3D printer I’m sure there are print farms that would print it. This seems like it would fail under the most minor stress conditions.
Okay, so you made a manifold; that's one thing. But cutting out little rubber circles is beyond the pale. Just buy rubber/neoprene washers for cheap, cheap, cheap ...
Nice
Thanks
Shouldn't you prime those joints?😅
If he did not point to the pipes I wont know what is happening.
El empaque debe ir por dentro
Si de echo, pero ara la misma función por dentro o por fuera ya que ambos lados tiene plano.
Uniseal would be easier than making up these fittings.
You Don't? You get a 4, 3, and 2 adapter, use the 4 on 3 pipes and 3 on 2 pipes, using the up on the 3 and 4 with the 2 adapter.
A friend of mine went to Puerto Rico after the hurricane a few years back. Rebuilding there means making major compromises on what is normally done, as what you can normally in some countries find may not be available
I understand you my friend, sometimes you have to learn to solve problems with what you have at hand.
@inventosmanualidades and at the end of the day, if we have the time and the skill, who says we must buy what is on the shelves? I wouldn't make my own brass fitting but there's little else I wouldn't attempt. The reasonable things of course
@@peaceinwartimeable That's right my friend is right.
Alguien que me diga cómo para qué debo necesitar ese tipo de instalación de agua?💁
why not a 12 way adapter for twice the price
Buy a pipe tap and thread the holes.
Te quedó hermoso pero muy mamalon más trabajo y más $$$_ de eso se trata gastar más?
FOOL, you forgot to use the prep stuff before the glue... there is normally a blue/pink gel/solution, that goes on first to prep the pipe, then you apply glue, not sure what it does, but it made life alot better with pipes.
Also how do you regulate the flow?
Picture it. You're in a place or situation where you absolutely have limited options. Maybe supply chain, maybe no time to search. In this scenario your grandmother's garden would have water. Well done.
Thank you very much my friend
Instructions unclear I now have 5 leaks instead of one
Nice!
That's more expensive than buying the six way connector
This seems a very long winded and expensive way of solving your problem
Notice, there is no water flowing from the PVC on the right.
Or buy the 2 dollar tee and save a weeks labor and a huge headache.
And when the rubber rots, do it again.
why stop at five?
So, what happens to the water that will forever sit at the bottom of that tank? Yuk.
Muy bueno. ¿Porqué el sello negro aislante no va por dentro del tubo mayor?
Puede ser, por ambos lados ara la función, muchas gracias 🙏
Lo correcto es en el o los tubos pequeños,la contra o la hembra que va por dentro va contrayendo el conector junto con el empaque hacía el diámetro mayor y así sella mejor y así hay menos probabilidad de que halla fugas
@@rogeliosoto2842 muchas gracias por el dato mi amigo🤝
So how much was the adapter? Versus all the labor and materials used?
Yah, great hack.
Our customers would not pay the 329 dollars to act the goat doing this, they prefer the dollar twenty solution.
easier & quicker to use couple Ts..
6-way adapter would've been cheaper and faster.
why ruin a large area since a single tube is better
Oh wow, isn't that amazing!
Be quicker just buying one
Te salía más barato comprar lo que tenía que ser que comprar todo ese material para acabar dando problemas
