Hello all,

I have an artesian well that has been disconnected from my house and
is now only a 1 5/8" inch PVC pipe sticking out of the ground in my
front yard.

It flows at about 5 gallons per/minute.

I currently have a plastic cap on it with a hose clamp to stop it from
running.

I'd like to put a hose bib on it so that I can use the water in
various uses when I want to.

How in the world can I work with this? How can I glue anything to this
pipe while it's running?

Is there some method that would allow me to cap this thing properly
where I could then add on to this system? Getting a valve into the
line is my problem.

How can I put a valve into this line?

Have you tried shoving 3000 loaves of bread into the pipe as a temporary
absorbent?- Hide quoted text -

How about temporarily plugging it, then freezing a section farther
back? I think plumbers use this technique. Not sure on what the best
way to freeze it would be.
