MAX TEMP / MAX PRESSURE and other Specs and advice // kombilife.com/diy-road-shower-for-van-life/

[@skudwoofer]

130 psi max, failure between 130 and 300 psi, but most of the time it is far less than 300 with larger diameters. I have had mine for a short time and usually pump it up to anywhere between 60 psi and 100 psi. The stuff is ABS, Acrylic Butyl Styrene (sp) not Poly Vinyl Chloride. ABS has it's good and bad. Fatigue Failure is where the pipe swells a very small amount each time it is pressurized and there are failures associated with long term cycling. ABS: Doesn't Shatter - Good Relatively Low Pressure Failure - Bad Low point load failure - Good Somewhat flexible - Good Glue does not make a homogeneous joint and the glue may be subject to cyclic failure over time - Bad ABS is much more UV stable - Good PVC: All PVC, even schedule 10 will fatigue fail and when it does, if it is under pressure will shatter - Bad Higher pressure Failure - Good High Point Load Failure (hammer or sharp point) - Bad Rigid - Bad Low to no UV Stability - Bad Joints are homogenous - good, however failures are usually at fittings, esp tees, 90s, wyes where the 2 passages meet and there are sharp edges cast into fittings.

[@skudwoofer]

With just a 6 inch stub where I pressurize mine at 100 psi, that small air chamber will push all 10 gallons out of mine ending at 30 to 40 PSI left over after all of the water has been used.

[@KombiLife]

that is a heck of a lot of pressure! Thanks for sharing your experience and results!

[@Xyzabc998]

Your current music. The "interlude" track. 0.38. Certain you have been asked a million times and it is hardly the most important question but an ear worm is an ear worm!

[@jasen1294]

Kombi Life hello friends! Why do we not have more views on your awesome, helpful videos that solve problems and are super informative? This is crazy, you guys deserve a million subs and hundreds of thousands of views per video. I will do everything I can to share your content. I've been a loyal fan for about a year now, please don't lose touch with us viewers now that the Kombi is passed on to the next adventure 😕. I need to join patreon.....

[@Radnally]

I took a 2 gallon weed sprayer and added a shrader valve to it so it could be pumped up from most any air pressure device. Bike pump, etc...Added a dish spray nozzle to it as well. Painted it black and mounted it on a quick release system to my roof rack. Easy to remove and fill with water as well as put on the roof to warm up. Works great for showering, doing dishes or any clean up where water is involved. Cost a total of about $30 USD. Took about 20 minutes to build.

[@KombiLife]

+Radnally nice work.

[@thediyplug]

Does it get pretty hot and how long does I take to warm up on your roof

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Wow, what a great idea. Would love to see a video of it!

[@LuckyTown77]

Me too

[@loujeanadams2500]

attach a tire valve to it somewhere, and when your using it, connect a portable air compressor to it,, the air entering will force the water out under pressure,, no matter the height.. then when done just turn off the compressor

[@debracomer6864]

Great video. Here's a another way to make things simple. Put a faucet spout on each end of the pipe. One you use to fill the pipe with and the other to shower with. You can adjust the water pressure by turning the handle to open and close while filling the pipe from the fill faucet end.

[@steveanton763]

That's a great idea. Simple and practical and cheap.

[@nedmckenna9351]

FANTASTIC! Great to see that it does not need to be pressurised! Very helpful video hope you are all well

[@Jen-dl8kw]

This is brilliant . I thought of this years ago when i decided i needed to have a go at car traveling the UK. I told my friends all about my much so wanted adventures and explained this and got some really funny looks . They are deffinulty narrow minded people . Watch this space my friends 😆

[@NoProGoPronto]

OMG! Finally! The new owner of the Kombi is alive and in person. I know this all happened a long time ago, but I was beginning to think you guys were never really giving up that van. Congrats to Grant! May he have a wonderful joyous life in the Kombi and make beautiful memories of his own 🎉👍🏽😃😎🌈☮️

[@KombiLife]

actually this particular video was recorded quite recently.

[@smileyley]

Watched this video more than 2 years ago and remembered now while building my own Van! Thanks for the idea and all off your vids:*

[@KombiLife]

Thanks to Grant for being such a legend letting us make this video with him. More from him on this channel in the future.

[@BradleyLevesque02]

Kombi Life is Leah your girlfriend?

[@richardkaz2336]

Made my solar hot water shower out of 90mm stormwater elbows, tees, straight and end caps. It holds 38L 3-4hrs to heat up depending on the time of year and cloud cover. All up cost inc black spray paint, hose, tap and plumbing glue and tie down straps for A$45

[@terryrodel3257]

i am ashamed to say i have only just discovered your epic journey. and am hooked it takes one man and his dog to a hole new level. then into the mix all the amazing people you have had along the way in the kombi and to top it all off the locals the hospitality just WOW . How do you say good bye to so meany friends and more to the point how is the most amazing member of the team alaska the most traveld dog your friend terry .epsom uk

[@mrscotthaskins]

Unreal! Seriously fantastic DIY shower. Bravo Zulu guys.

[@ramadla5345]

A safer version to pressure is to install 12 volt pump to system, they vary in price but works just like RV shower and can be used to clean off anything. super easy to install too. I am in process of starting to build a van and will be posting entire build. Ford E 350 extended cab.

[@Mr3andrew3]

For the record- ABS are the black sewer/waste pipes, PVC are the white water/feed pipes. They are different types of plastic- however both are non-toxic. Best, *A.

[@craigcorson3036]

ABS plastic pipe will hold a LOT more pressure than 18 PSI. Even white PVC, which is not as thick, is rated for 600 PSI! You would need a different sort of pressure relief, of course. If I were making one of these, I would have a separate pressure reservoir, since when the tank's full of water, there's little room for air. I would also use the full ten feet of the pipe you bought, instead of cutting four feet off of it. That would give you another two and a half gallons of water.

[@tonyronco4040]

A few corrections: 1.) TThe black pipe is made from ABS (As Grant read from the ID strip on the pipe) and it is NOT Schedule 40 ... The black ABS pipe & the fittings are DWV (Drain Waste Vent) design, which NOT a pressure rated piping system (because the system is vented). The typical test is 10 feet of hydrostatic pressure, which equals 4.3 PSI. 2.) The ABS has its own material specific primer and glue, both which need to be used. The video did not show use primer and used the wrong glue. 3.) Schedule 40 (White PVC) Pipe that is 1/2" diameter is rated at 600 PSI ... HOWEVER the Schedule 40 (white PVC) in the diameter size shown, 4" has a 220 PSI rating. NOTE: Again, the pipe and fittings shown are DWV black ABS which is not pressure rated. 4.) It is NOT recommended to use plastic pipe to contain air pressure. Because of the thick wall, if the pipe will fails under pressure, it will do so catastrophically and with the rapid expansion of the compressed air potentially sending "grenade" shards of plastic flying. The 18 PSI air pressure max in the video is conservative, but realize that manufacturers still don''t recommend air pressurizing plastic piping systems, and that for DWV pipe and fittings (black ABS) they are not water pressure rated by design. Be safe out there.

[@KombiLife]

@@tonyronco4040 agreed - you really got to be careful if you're going to add pressure to a ABS pipe. As you said it's not advisable so if in doubt, don't!

[@oldgasjocky]

Thank the three of you very much for this informative vid regarding the construction of a PVC solar shower it truly is the best one I have seen to date! your humour just made it all the more pleasant to see. I will use your plan and idea for my template to construct and build my solar shower for my van... In 1990 I lived in a 1970 ford econoline van for about 3 years. wish I had one of these showers to use but just didn't cross my mind at the time. Best of luck to the 3 of you where ever you are! Chao for now

[@CaptainDustinAllen]

yall are straight ballin, i want that shower so im gonna build, simple as that, i mean i already built the whole van yahaha

[@beejoy6153]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANKS for the AWESOME video!!! Very detailed without skipping a beat, easy to understanding, and simply well made over all!

[@KombiLife]

you're welcome, good luck

[@howardgebb7600]

By the way, I really do like what you are doing. I have spent many road trips surfing/fishing/diving in Mexico (especially Baja Sur). I'm happy to have found your channel and live vicariously through you.

[@KombiLife]

Thanks Howard, we're glad you have too

[@Garymayo]

Put in a 180 elbow to make a second tube doubling the water size. Put on two 90 degree elbows and 4 feet of end tube to have the two halves one on each side of the van. Four 90 degree elbows and you can make a complete rectangular closed system that would have three times as much water capacity

[@guyh.4553]

Very interesting and handy. I'd still use Schedule 40 PVC over sewer pipe. Also, consider using air compressor fittings to pressurize the tank. Another thought is to use spray on bed liner (spray can) or the Krylon Flex Seal spray paint.

[@robseg]

Just use a tire valve stem for pressurizing it. Drill the correct size hole and insert from the inside.

[@JacekWolny]

I have an idea, if you make tube able to turn vertical for taking shower. Thath would make huge difference in pressure.

[@lukkassuhn6761]

Only helps while the tube isn't getting down near empty. What I would like to do is install some handcrank lifts/jacks that could raise the horizontal tube(s) at least one foot higher, maybe two feet higher if its affordable. Another point to consider: 'height pressure' is caused by the elevation gap between the source and the exit. Meaning a tub you can kneel in without getting dirty would allow the use of a longer hose for greater pressure.

[@larryoutdoor]

Can always use this for fireworks Motars when your done.:} I find Kombi life original and entertaining,

[@KombiLife]

talk about a spoiler for our next video ;)

[@Quintessentguy]

Very cool, but I like Bob's idea from Cheap RV living (which I will be doing, too!) -- black 5 gal bucket with top, leave it in the sun for a bit to warm the water, use shower attachment that runs off USB port power. Much simpler for us old guys. :)

[@riensoveru752]

better option than bobs ........... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ6ZhqqOqJVqmrM

[@dylandesmond]

add a 12v tire pump with a tap for easy high pressure flow

[@TvPetie1]

Dude... I have Seen You 3 yeahrs in one Video Vid. This ist so awsome, I Wish You and The people You meet The best luck and have one hell of a journy

[@JROSALES-nt6qd]

Tip: You have to get a bit of sand paper. Sand the pipe down(not too much). Then use the cement glue and put them together.

[@johnsmithy9304]

Clever project, you can utelize Google to find any machine shops in your area and go by and purchase aluminum 4" for probably around the same price. Or a scrap yard.

[@np939427a]

How about a porter potty that hooks up to the tow bar, like the one in top gear, when clarkson took may for a spin while having a dump going to the north pole, funny! just think you could have a shit, shower & shave all at the same time ;) the new word would be speed glamping?

[@KombiLife]

Looking forward to making THAT video!

[@blackhatter011]

you mean a porta-potty? as in portable.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Brilliant! I'm Making one of these! But being from NY, I won't be driving through Times Square, or by NYPD with a giant black pipe on the roof of my van, probably. Probably a good idea for the bus build guy with two 50 gal veg oil drums mounted to the back of his bus to avoid that fiasco as well 😁.

[@AdventuresofSarahJames]

Can't believe we've only just discovered your channel! Subscribed :) You guys are absolutely rocking it :D can't wait to keep up with your videos!

[@nyuin4384]

DUDE YOUR INSANE! I love your KZbin channel and good job on your adventure😃

[@Azmi11Azmi]

You have inspired to go to on adventures but I am 16 I can only explore the neighborhoods near mine but when I finish collage I will go on a proper one all around the word thanks

[@12vLife]

Nice. I built a U-shaped 12gallon and wrapped it around a 320 watt solar panel but I used only two air valves. takes longer to fill, but super frugal and easy to pressurize. Water always seems to be hot. Video on my channel.

[@tonyronco4040]

A few corrections: 1.) The black pipe shown in this video made from ABS (as Grant read from the ID strip on the pipe) and it is NOT Schedule 40 design ... The black ABS pipe & the ABS fittings shown are DWV (Drain Waste Vent) design, which NOT a water pressure rated piping system (because the system is vented). The typical test is 10 feet of hydrostatic pressure, which equals 4.3 PSI. PVC pipe (white) is Schedule 40 design and has a thicker wall (it’s water pressure rated) than black ABS , DWV pipe. 2.) The ABS has its own material specific primer and glue, both which need to be used. The video did not show use primer and did not use ABS glue (the video used the wrong glue). 3.)

Schedule 40 (White PVC) Pipe in the diameter size shown (4") is pressure rated and has a 220 PSI rating. It is thicker walled than DWV, ABS pipe. BUT that Schedule 40 design rating is for water, which doesn't compress - mitigating secondary hazards if there is a catastrophic pressure failure. Be safe out there.

[@paulnorberg3869]

Spot on!

[@cq7415]

Good idea but look at other comments. PVC glue not for ABS pipe. ABS pipe toxic, PVC pipe for drinking water, not toxic. Just because pipe is black to absorb more solar heat does not mean it is the best. Thanks for sharing.

[@NomadicGearhead]

Clever project! Appreciate the article on your website about it for more details too. Great info.

[@christiancowboy352]

Awesome! Great minds think alike! I have had this idea for a while now, and thought I'd search and see if anyone else did. To my surprise I found your video here about doing the same thing. I've been subscribed to you for a few weeks now, and love your videos. It's something that your doing the same thing I plan to do. I can't wait to watch the video. Blessings always to you both on your adventures...:)

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

Not a bad design. A variation on a theme. the filler/blow off valve is pretty sexy. I was going to use a radiator neck.. but hey.

[@trustedbank9798]

Honestly, if you've got any space, I would love to come. I'm being serious my dream is to travel and see new places😁👌

[@GowithKelly]

I want this shower!!! So awesome ha!

[@brianstone5248]

Awesome Job! 😎 Loved the video and the Humor 😂😂😂❤️😎

[@robertashdown2157]

Cool build but it's odd you guys are so worried about pressure. 4" ABS is rated at least 100 psi. The sun isn't going to make it explode.

[@rogerf7229]

Yeah who needs a bike pump to make water pressure ? We have the sun, making hot pressure. Careful with that garden nozzle tho! hahah

[@billtuckjr2834]

I ordered your Book! Thanks for doing it! Can`t wait to read it!

[@alpalchevskiy3886]

nice! could actually use this for camping, it's not too big.

[@josephpacheco7508]

Add a weed sprayer tapped into that or a bicycle hand pump and a tire valve stem and build pressure.

[@cogotepao]

You have to sand the pvc for a strong bond.

[@jurgen3865]

I don't watch the video because I wamt to get some sleep but I like your adventures very much and your way of living. Great work! I don't know how you find the time for KZbin. I hope you get enough donations (also in the future). What do you want to do for work after your travelling life? Which job(s) did you have and what will you do?

[@vwbugs65]

The road shower 4 is much safer, it can be pressurized to 65lbs and water is safe to drink.(unlike PVC plastic)

[@joeyp8197]

WRONG GLUE!!!! that's why the fitting wouldn't go all the way in the proper glue would say ABS and is black ....cheers

[@thawk4976]

Van life is a senior

[@goldensilverfox]

And sand first

[@Georges_vanlife]

Your car looks good! I'm on the TOYOTA Hiace. I like it! It is a famous VAN in Japan! But you wanted to customize it like your car! I also took a video so it was helpful!

Do you still own Alaska 🐶 🐕

[@simontomkinson533]

No they gave her away with the Bus! of course they still have her !!!! watch the other videos!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Good to meet Grant. Seems like the perfect person to own and love Copito. (sp) love the details of the shower build. Just seems like not enough water could be in that pipe. I suppose a few gallons, though. Have you measured the volume? Looks like you removed the decals, and painted the van, or am I just going into grieving? Looks naked. A little sad, actually. So many adventures, so many people. You gave us a great ride, throughout all the trouble with the van and the people you included and visited. Remember Oscar? How is he? Well, Grant, take care of our van and enjoy the next phase of his/her life. Keep us posted. Will you start/do you have a KZbin channel? I'm avoiding signing off but I see some more posts so gotta go, for now. Leah and Ben...hope there're more adventures ahead. Bye, Lynn

[@KombiLife]

+small footprint thanks. it fits about about 5 gallons. Yes it's sad to see CoPito go

[@simontomkinson533]

I am so gonna make one of these for Gigi! :D

[@DS-sv1ch]

Awesome idea. Ingenious. What about a portable shower curtain?

[@cecileyiddles189]

Drill a small hole in filler cap attach it to roof rack on a small chain

[@tvc380]

I would have added a quick release fitting to the hose. I also would have figured out how many gallons it holds, people would like to know.

[@KombiLife]

Capacity Info on the blog post

[@katrinamousley6179]

I really like your idea I am going to make one for are van from Isla

[@duskiesnewzealand2714]

Fantastic video, thanks guys!!!

[@krillansavillan]

could just hoist up the top end of the shower for pressure. Might get complicated with the secure brackets though..

[@paulkysar6207]

At first glance, you are using the wrong glue. ABS pipe uses ABS glue, yellow glue in most cases is for CPVC pipe. CPVC pipe is for water in house plumbing. I may be wrong, but as a plumber......

[@williamwhitehead8362]

Should assembled all this in shade so it's not so damn hot and dries up too fast so you can't get it together just a word a few years late a night

[@oldgasjocky]

Ops, I did subscribe and give a thumbs up, thanks for your time

[@nancystrickland5031]

You guys are great!

[@BigBoss0_]

How do you upload these videos is there wifi or even satellite in these places?

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Big Boss No, they have to show the data stream to an eagle, the eagle flies the data up high where the satellites can pick it up.....

[@christinasirr7138]

Hopefully that glue wasn't toxic.. maybe rinse well! 🍀

[@KombiLife]

Good Point! Best to use a non-toxic PVC Cement - Like this one: amzn.to/2vrglTS

[@roadraccoon4715]

Kombi Life you need to use ABS specific glue, that glue is for PVC. You run the risk of the whole thing blowing apart Under Pressure if you use the wrong glue.

[@uptone12111]

Road Racoon that's correct and Under the Sun ABS tends to bend

[@cathd4989]

Awesome -- how much water does it hold and how many showers would you get out of it?

[@arminstrohschein7708]

If mounted on a westy roof so it tills up with the roof, that should solve any pressure problems??

[@WeLiveWeDie]

Great Video !

[@mlrable]

Have you noted you can't drink that water as you need CPVC plastic

[@NOMADNEWSTV]

Great success,...awesome info!

[@rednkfn]

Pressuring up sewer pipe and fittings is always a huge mistake. Those threaded sewer clean out caps are only rated for like 5 psi.

[@qaz9258]

I have a simple 5gl blue LOWES bucket I put in the sun and it gets way too hot. I need to add bits of it to a rain water bucket to tolerate it. SO how do you control the temperature? And ya like Jacek Wolny mentioned I had the same concept of mounting the front part to a pivot point and raising the back a foot or 2. The front seemed safer as mainly so going down the road tends to pushes it down instead of lifting it up. the back would be on a bifold duel brace. And of course the spigot would need to be adjusted slightly. But still this is in concept and not made yet.

[@stanirelandbig]

you should use a cleaner before glue it makes it permanent

[@tztz1949]

Probably wouldn't drink or let your skin absorb the endocrine disruptors leaching from abs or pvc when hot. Dohh

[@lukkassuhn6761]

Do you have an alternative to suggest? Galvanized steel is heavy and leaches zinc. Alluminum isn't exactly safe for the body either, but I don't know if it leeches. I do agree this certainly isn't drinking water, but what do you do for hot bathing water on the road in the bush? Baths can be flame heated but require a lot more water and not every region has abundant fuelwood.

[@joegotyoutuification]

this a good idea but not for stealthy living in the van, a 2gal bottle weed killer with a pump would work fine

[@patriciaw7937]

Can I store this vertically to avoid the projectile possibilities and as I don’t have a roof rack?

[@travelright8150]

My only complaint about this video, is their is not enough handmade beaded jewelry, bracelets, etc.

[@boomerrob9223]

Questions, questions, questions. Do you think this system would work in UK/northern Europe? Remember, it's a bit cooler than Oz, Mexico, etc. AND... World travelling with a van - is it possible and affordable to ship or ferry the van from, say, Pacific Asia to Alaska or Canada, or from southern Asia to Oz?

[@starbroken8893]

U guys are awesome 😁

[@patrolrider]

Please again what is the little white pressure relief valve could not understand Thanks

[@horrorbizness2043]

You could just raise the back end of the pipe when it is in use.

[@patrolrider]

Hi guys love the videos but on the shower part I know PVC pipe well but your accents are very strong and I did not get the part about the pressure relief valve on the shower I Know the pressure valve just like a car or a bike but the pressure relief valve escapes me thanks and safe trips

[@santasfatbitch]

Lya: "what was that?? oohh, I know, a shower-joke :P:P:P"

[@CGFakaBigGoat]

In your trip from America to Alaska how much did you spend so far?

[@sarahsmith4617]

Was going to do something like this, but I'm worried about chemicals leaching from the PVC into the water once it's hot :/ Did y'all look into anything like that? Not sure what kind of plastic the sewage pipe is made from.

[@lsh3rd]

I might be inclined to look for a band clamp that is a bit stronger than the hose clamps used... those things are a bit flimsy.

[@KombiLife]

+Larry Harris agreed we went for safety in numbers approach

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Brilliant! But, will water smell like pvc pipe? Or that is not toxic A ok?

[@brmelectric]

Great video. I am thinging of making my own. Would have been nice if you shared the lenght of time the shower will last for with that lenght of pipe. Just curious. Cheers.

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

Brilliant.

[@spencervanderstarren1221]

Hey guys, great video as usual. What happens if your shower is half full and you have to slam on the brakes on the highway? Won't all that water rush to the front and rip the whole thing right off the roof? My physics is rusty but is this an issue you've found?

[@KombiLife]

no, but one time the front end cap came off and all the water came out.

[@O2-studios]

I've just built one of these, and the screw-on filler cap is not sealed and therefore leaks air as soon as I try to pressurize it. I got a cap with a nylon gasket, tightened it with a wrench, and even that didn't withstand anything over 10psi. If anyone knows a) what I'm doing wrong, or b) a workaround for this, I would love to hear it.

[@wellwellwell4321]

Do a diy on how to make a bed inside your bus

[@miamiller7585]

Genius..

[@isaacthomasmtb7764]

How do you find those free places to park and camp? Or is it just a lowkey thing you do and hope no one stops you?

[@lewiskirton1]

Great video well done, what are those little relief valves called and any idea where I could find in the UK? Thanks!

[@lancebaker1374]

What's with the growling "jump into scene" bits?

[@indigodragon7129]

Would it be possible to make one with a hand pump sprayer you could incorporate into the build to provide water pressure to force the water out a port with a bent copper tube at the end of the tube?

[@michaeledwards8051]

Why did you choose 4 in pipe instead of 6 or 8 in for more capacity and why did you only make it 4-5 ft long instead of the length of the van (8') since you're mounting it up, out of the way? You could hold so much more water? Is it because of 8+lb/gal is too heavy?

[@KombiLife]

Yes
