10 DIY Projects From PVC Pipes For Your Homestead.....

It's simpler to glue on the threaded fittings.

is this the part where Jesus comes and kills everyone on the planet ?

Hmmm.. That gives me an idea. I have a small windmill that I need to put up in the air

Thanks for that.. will bookmark them.. take a look in a while.. yeah I need to get a die set.. bless...

I thought about that, using pvc glue esp: made for that, but I'd like to be able to gain access by un-screwing & re-screwing during set up & repairs... otherwise it would be like trying to get a constructed ship out of a bottle.. & then there's whether glue is strong enough to withstand pressure.. or how much pressure.
Mind you.. plastic pipes do cope quite well with pressure inside them.
London streets has just had a massive spaghetti of plastic pipes laid, from all different sizes & colours, to replace water, gas, leccy. All those old Victorian pipes had smashed & broken. In fact, the old Roman sewers & viaducts are still in great condition, but can't blame the Romans for not having access to plastic pipes. Queen Victoria was stupid in thinking ceramic pipes would last. Thank goodness for plastic. I wonder if pipes can be made out of hemp? I like the way they're so flexible. With a little heat & pressure they can be bent without kinking, tho' am sure there's a designed & dedicated plastic pipe bender. I like different coloured piples too.

Note also that PVC comes in two wall thicknesses, Schedule 20 and Schedule 40.
40 would give you more to thread.

And Sch 80 & 120

Also check out CPVC


Reminder, if you are using PVC exposed to the elements,
Coat well with UV resistant paint, keeps PVC from becoming
prematurely brittle, which destroys it !

Grey CPVC and Grey Sch 80 & 120 are UV resistant...

CPVC threaded fittings work best when threading and joining
other types of plastic or metal fittings due to the pitch of
the threads on the fittings.
PVC Sch .05 through 120 threads can strip easily.
