Look in the sewer fittings department at the store and they have rubber hose
clamp fittings where you can attach a pipe at both ends then clamp down with
the hose clamps.

So on one end of the hose clamp fitting, install a series of fittings to
attach a valve, then stick the whole works onto your pipe and tighten down.

This will work if the water is low pressure.

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?
