The problem with an outdoor tap is flow. Most are fed with a 1/2" pipe and will only deliver 5-6 gpm (gallons per minute). This means a lot of valves would need to be installed to accommodate a sprinkler system. Main lines to houses are usually 3/4" pipe and will deliver a lot more flow (9-12 gpm) for a sprinkler system. Using an outdoor tap for a supply is good for planter beds and garden areas, but I wouldn't use it to feed a whole system.

If you have existing lines buried that would work. If you're building from scratch I would run a single supply into a 4 valve manifold that could be buried anywhere that is convenient. Be careful how many heads you use on each valve because this type of set up will only deliver around 5 gpm because it is being fed from a 1/2" pipe. This limits the number of heads you can put on each valve. You may need more valves to accommodate the reduced flow available.

Working for a Hot Tub place for years, I have seen that volume of water flow is the most important part of any water system. The braided line you are using only has about a 1/4 inch inside diameter. That will restrict your water volume flow quit a bit. The manifold itself is of a smaller diameter as well. Fill a glass with the water dispenser on your refrigerator. Then fill it again on the kitchen faucet itself and you will find a much higher water volume flow on the faucet taking much less time to fill the glass. This water volume flow becomes even more important when you are running water to remote areas. Whenever we filled hot tubs at customers homes, we always took all of these connections off entirely. Every one would have to come off and only a single hose from faucet to the tub or you would be there for hours filling these tubs. This comment is just a word of advice. I am not saying your system will not work, what I am saying is everyone should try to make sure they are using the largest inside diameters you can find. I know for certain there are better manifolds out there with 1/2 to 3/4 inch inside diameters. Its all about the volume of water flow. (FYI, always fill hot tubs by running the hose directly into the open filter housing to avoid air pockets. Usually that is the highest point in a hot tubs plumbing system).

Unless you have a 3/4" supply feeding the tap you can still only use 5-6 gpm because flow is based on the smallest pipe size in the circuit, in this case 1/2". A 12 VAN nozzle adjusted to 1/4 circle uses .59 gpm (gallons per minute). A 12 VAN adjusted to 1/2 circle uses 1.18 gpm. The total usage in flow for all 6 heads is 5.31 gpm. You're reaching the limit of what the tap can produce in flow so to be safe I would split the yard into 2 zones. If all piping is 3/4" then 1 zone.

A 1/2" tap will deliver around 5-6 gpm (gallons per minute), so if you used 3 Rain Bird 3500 series rotors I wouldn't use bigger than 1.5 or 2.0 nozzles for each head. If you have 2 quarter circle & one half circle head in the installation you would want the 1/4 circle heads to use half the water that the 1/2 circle head does. So you could do two 1.0 nozzles in the 1/4 circle heads and a 2.0 in the half circle head. That would add up to 4.0 gpm total and you're matching precipitation rates.

This is a great solution that I considered using but there are some potential problems and limitations. As the author mentioned, you need backflow prevention. Another thing is freeze prevention. The below-ground drains should help with if they work properly, but personally I wouldn't be comfortable leaving this connected in the winter so I would disconnect the flex in the winter. I decided to tap into the existing below-ground water line (yes, a local permit is probably required) to be able to run all of the PVC underground (except the risers of course). That way any freeze damage is minimized and probably limited to the drip tubing or PVC risers which is easier to repair. Now, to make this low maintenance you'll want to put it on a timer. The selections for in-line timers that you could use for this sort of set up are limited and run on batteries. You could use a regular irrigation timer and an underground valve if you were willing to run the control wiring. The last thing is, if you ever sell the home, this set-up could get flagged by an inspector.

Can the tap always stay open to feed the new outdoor water spigot?

Yes. Just shut the tap off in the fall.

So I would need a pressure piece at the water valve? I connected pvc all the way to an outdoor sink but no water goes through the faucet but there's water in the pipe. That's the part I'm lost at.

Thank you for the excellent video. However I am having trouble finding the right parts like the female hose adapter and the braided pipe. Can you please any link from amazon or home depot or any store that these might be available at. Thank you once again.

Is this considered a temporary connection, or would it require county permits? Thank you.

Hi Great video. Just wondering...is there any issue with just using 1/2" PVC? I've had a hard time finding the 1/2 - 3/4" connectors you've mentioned. Also, have only been able to find 1/2" threaded plastic PVC. Any issues other than potential breakage (possible sun damage I suspect) if I went this way? Thanks in advance
