Use a pneumatic pipe plug made for your well pipe size, they pump up with a
bicycle tire pump, if it holds the flow install your valve setup so you can
extract your pipe plug. Depending on the pipe plug this may mean you go to a
larger valve, probably a gate valve. If you can't find a glued setup that
allows you to extract the pneumatic plug though the valve, just glue on a
threaded adapter so you have threads to work with.

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?
