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?



Use a rubber coupling.

Also I think there's blue PVC cement for wet use. You could glue on
a thread adapter. Don't screw on the cap or a valve until the glue
sets.

Dry ice held to outside of pipe will stop it in seconds.
Only a small piece needed.

I've done it to a main under city water pressure to repair the
main shutoff.

On PVC pipe?? It's not very thermally conductive.
