Here are some more information for Female Pipe Hose:
A sprinkler system that waters around corners or big bushes, and will effectively water irregularly shaped yards or tall gardens is fairly easy to make. It comprises two-to-four above-ground, plastic-pipe-raised spray nozzles connected in tandem by one-to-three hose remnants.
Because these stake-anchored raised nozzles can give from one-to-360-degree spray patterns, they can be used for almost any sprinkling job. For example, at the 180-degree pattern settings, the system can be used along property lines, fences, walks, narrow strips of yard, and at square or round corners. At the 360-degree settings, it can be used anywhere in the midst of lawns or flower and vegetable gardens where it will put water into the hard-to-get areas. Because of these capabilities, its users need not worry about disgruntled neighbors or walkers who are affected by the spray going beyond set boundaries.
Additionally, a tall system of two-to-four risers can be left in a tall flower or vegetable garden during the entire growing season. Just connect an outside hose to it, and let it sprinkle. Furthermore, because the connecting hoses are easily bendable, the nozzle-risers themselves can be placed anywhere as needed, e.g., back-to-back, back-to-side, staggered, close-together, far apart, or in a circle or square. Thus, a preset spray pattern of 180-degrees takes care of most sprinkling situations. The parts for this system can be found in most hardware outlets for less than $50.
Parts for making a four-riser system for a lawns or gardens
- one 10-foot piece 600-psi 1/2-inch plastic pipe, 2.00
- eight ½-inch male adaptors, $0.30 each, 2.40
- one can of PVC cement with applicator, 3.00
- four Rain Bird® 180-degree or 1-to-360-degree adjustable screw-on female nozzles, $2 each, 8.00
- four flow-through screw-on ground stakes, plastic or aluminum, $3 each, 12.00
- three 15-foot assembled 5/8-inch hose remnants, $6 each, 18.00
- Total $46.40
Note: if the 15-foot hose remnants are not available at local stores, make your own by cutting down a longer hose to that or desired lengths, and then add male/female hose connectors (purchased separately) to these pieces. The final cost is about the same as above.
To make the above nozzle-risers, do the following steps.
1. For grass lawns and low-growth gardens, cut four 2½-inch risers (nipples) from the ½-inch plastic pipe. For tall gardens, cut four 1½-feet risers from the ½-inch plastic pipe. Note: the system for the tall gardens is made exactly the same way as the one for lawns, except the risers are cut to 1½-feet in length instead of 2½-inches.
2. Remove any shavings from the inner and outer edges at both ends of each riser.
3. Cement a male adapter to each end of each riser following the directions on the can.
4. Let the cement dry overnight.
5. Screw-tighten one spray nozzle and one stake to the opposite ends of each riser.
6. Adjust the spray pattern for each nozzle to 180-degrees (half circle) or as needed. Align the spray pattern parallel to the hose connections on the stake.
7. Connect the risers in tandem with the hose remnants. Cap the far-end connection. For convenience, add a short piece (about two-feet in length) of hose to the first riser. It is easier to connect an outside hose to another hose than to the ground stake itself.
When all four risers are connected in tandem, the 180-degree spray patterns average about 20 feet in diameter at full force, depending on the water-pressure and wind conditions at the time. Thus, the spray patterns overlap slightly for complete watering. For watering narrow strips of yard or garden, place the risers closer together under a reduced water flow, which reduces the size of the patterns. If patterns other than 180-degrees are needed, adjust the nozzles accordingly, i.e., 90-degrees (quarter circle) or 360-degrees (full circle).
Normally, the 5/8-inch-diameter hoses work well for the small yard and garden. Yet the larger hoses (e.g., 3/4-inch diameter) will make the patterns slightly larger. These patterns can also be enlarged slightly by removing one or two of risers from the system, which puts more water pressure on the remaining nozzles. Under any of these arrangements, the nozzles themselves spray water efficiently.
Ten-to-15 minutes of sprinkling will saturate the lawn or garden with aerated water. For the best results, according to the experts, do this watering early in the morning, late in the evening, or in the shade. For more information on sprinkling yards, see these sites.

Shower Installation
Before you start: Decide on the type of shower you want, bearing in mind that the shower head must either be fitted so as to prevent it coming into contact with water in the bath or shower tray, or it must have a check valve (non-return valve) where the hose is attached to the shower control.
- Mark the required positions of the spray head and shower control
- Plan the pipe work to the shower control and how the waste water will be routed to the drainage system.
- If you are fitting an instantaneous electric shower, work out the positions of the cable route and the switch
- Fit the shower control. Most units are available as either surface-mounted or recessed fittings, and come with fixings and instructions.
When fitting a recessed mixer, if possible mount it on a removable panel flush with the wall sot that you have easy access to the controls.
- Cut off the water supply and fit the water supply pipes in to the wall and ten re plaster or tile over them. However, they must be protected with a waterproof covering and have service valves fittings
- Fit the shower head and spray. For a separate cubicle, fit the base tray and waste fittings.
- Connect the supply pipes to the shower control. An adaptor with a female screw thread (copper to iron) may be needed.
- Restore the water supply and check the piping for leaks. Tighten any joints as necessary.
- For an electric shower, turn off the electric supply at consumer unit (fuse box). Make the necessary electrical shower manufacturer’s instructions. Restore the power supply.
- Fit screening panels and seal the joints between the wall and screening and the tray.
A typical cubicle installation
Screens are usually about 1.8m high. Panel widths can usually be adjusted by 25-50mm to allow for walls that are out of true. Doors may bee hinged, folded (with panels shaped to keep water in), sliding with corner entry, or pivoted to give a wide entry without taking a lot of opening space. Some shower trays have an n adjustable support by which the height can be altered so that the waste pipe and trap can be positioned either above or below the floorboards.

hot water heater leaking from fitting. what can i do?
my cold water supply line and hot water return line (both flex) are to short to reach to the top of the fittings located at the top of my new water heater. I have attached X2 standard braided hot water supply hoses from the fittings attached to the hot water heater. the other end (which would normally hook up to the water supply line/feed) is attached to another fitting (same kind that are attached to the water heater.) and then the other side of the fitting is attached to the supply/feed lines
I have to do this because my cold water supply line and my hot water return line both require a male fitting. the braided hoses are all female to female (both ends). the fittings attached to the supply/feed lines are only there to to change my braided hoses from female to male and that is where my leak is coming from.
I am using Piping tape on all threads but still cant stop this leak . any help is much appreciated.
If you overtighten the fittings they will just get worse , they will have to be replaced.. they should be hand tight + a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn with a wrench.
