Step by step video of my DIY new water main line and shut off valve... for under $300! PLUS...install a hidden hose bib!
I had to replace my old galvanized water main line and leaky shut-off valve before I could move forward on my landscape project. I cut out and removed the valve and galvanized water main line and installed a brand new pipe and valve. BUT I didn't use copper! I actually used PVC schedule 80 pipe instead! This is much easier to work with than copper pipe as you don't have to sweat joints, and it's MUCH cheaper! This is a great money saving material as copper pipe is SUPER expensive.
I also go over how to make a pressure shooting water jet device to tunnel under walkways and hardscape to get your pipe through. We also look at the best methods to trench through lawn and ground cover so it looks nice and neat when you put it back.
One of the extra little goodies we look at is how to install an underground hidden hose bib or water spigot. It's simple, cost effective, and incredibly convenient!
We also look at the water meter and understand what the individual components are. The city has a service shut-off valve, then the actual meter itself that displays how much water is being used, and sometimes there is another valve after the meter that is used to shut the house water on or off.
We also review the benefits of using a union coupling in the main line. This is a nice component to use in case a break or leak occurs down the road and you had to make it a repair or remove a section of pipe. It makes it much easier to disconnect a section and replace while making fewer cuts in the pipe.
We also look at how to set up irrigation valves and connect those to the main line. It's often times beneficial to have a secondary shut-off valve that allowing you to isolate the irrigation valve manifold in case you ever needed to change them out or do a repair on the valves. This way you don't have to shut off the whole house water. You have a separate isolation valve dedicated to the irrigation system.
With this step by step DIY tutorial video, anyone can install a new water main and shut-off valve with a little elbow grease. And it doesn't have to cost a million bucks! These materials are very cost effective and a great cheaper alternative to copper pipe. And no sweating necessary! On the joints at least :)
Thanks for watching!

This was so helpful. I have a leak in the drain pipe going to my house and this basically showed me Everything to do . I have a bad back and want to use my pressure washer to loosen the dirt and shop Vac to suck it up. Problem is the pipe to the house leaks A LOT. Lost 5k gallons in 16 hours. Is it ok to connect my Pressure Washer directly to the meter?

I personally wouldn't use PVC as a pipe for domestic water use, I believe that polyethylene is produced using far more inert chemistry, my concern being chemicals leaching into my drinking water. I'm currently installing a 300' water main and using what the professionals use (when they aren't using soft copper coil), "SIDR-7 polyethylene roll pipe" (some use SDR-7, which is a little smaller per trade size). There are different sizes of SIDR-7, I'm using 1". Another great benifit of SIDR-7 pipe is it comes in continuous rolls, so my entire 300 ft length, will have no joints, except where it connects to the meter and inside my house. The compression fittings can be a little hard to get for homeowners (as they might have to source them from a pro supplier), most people use barbed bronze fittings and ss hose clamps, which are cheap enough to buy. However, I'm using the compression connectors because they do not reduce in diameter. The pressure drop charts I've seen show that SIDR-7 pipe can carry about 2x the volume of water as the the same trade size copper, SCH 80 PVC can carry less than copper. 1" SCH80 PVC carries a volume somewhere between SIDR-7 1/2" and 3/4". While the SIDR-7 pipe is much cheaper than copper or SCH80 PVC, the compression fittings for SIDR-7 pipe are like $60 for straight fittings and $150 for tees. In my case, I only need one straight fitting because the utility company will attach their end with their fitting and I'll attach my end to a ball valve, then convert to PEX-A inside the house. From inside the house, I'm using 1" to feed several outside spigots for our various greenhouses and animal pens. So, the approximately double volume of water will come in handy because the home's water pressure won't drop as much when a garden hose (or 2) are being used outside. The truth is, the best way to maintain water pressure, is to maximize water flow, by using the largest pipe that is practical for the application. (Don't oversize hot water because it wastes more hot water). It still would have been less than $300 to use 1" SIDR-7 and compression fittings for his project. I'm certainly not saying he messed up, I think he did a fine job for a homeowner. But, anyone that has worked professionally installing water mains, is going to choose copper coil, SIDR-7, or SDR-7 roll-pipe to feed their house or business.

would you kindly provide some of the links for the roll and fittings? I need to do something similar 300'+ with 3 T fittings. Some plumbing company came out yesterday and quote me $36,198 for the job using black Polyethylene and when I asked about the connection he said they heat it up and it bonds.

@simple man Tell more about the project first. Is this tying directly into the municipal water tap? That's why I had to use the exact pipe that I used. As far as I know, all municipalities have particular specs for what pipe to use, and they're very strict about it.

Always been a "just do it" type of guy. The only thing that truly makes something impossible is to believe that it is, right? I realized how lucky I was sometimes. There was a hose bibb / spigot in line with a galvanized main like you put in. The tee was 50 years old galvanized pipe trying to fix the leaking spigot. Tried unscrewing the spigot - it unscrewed underground. That was one of the worst experiences - dirt falling in the female trying to make it a non-leaking join. Got home depot to hate me then running in at 8:58 while assuring my parents "no, you're not going to have to pay $10 grand"... (crap...) finally got it but later was thinking "oh man... had that tee cracked?" Anyway, certainly agree with you about galvanized :)

I'm old school and would have stuck with type k soft copper. No soldering as you mentioned. It is connected by flaring with brass nipples and adapters. It's stronger and will last almost forever. Also on the riser/pipe from the ground to house, sleeve the pipe with another pipe to protect the exposed pipe from physical damage.

I am the Plumber/Fitter Man. Hear me. The dielectric coupling is a union. By its nature, they are expected to leak. By code, you need an access panel. You can't just bury them! You want an easy fix? Installing 6" of brass (like in a threaded nipple) to break the electrolysis, will work.

Amazing how code is so different in the country. I’m in Pittsburgh, PA. We bury our lines 42” deep. There would have been 6” of sand above and below the pipe, which would have been soft k copper or PE. Generally the water service comes in through the basement wall or slab.

im gonna try your method of shooting water through the soil. I already thought about it but i didnt think the pressure was good enough. The desert soil wear i live is very tuff to dig. I already borrowed my friends concrete saw and i was about to rent a jack hammer til i saw this. ya this is worth a shot. Ive already dug over foot under the concrete and a little over a foot to go so i think this might do it. If it does then dang budy u just saved me 4 hours of heck and also some money. Only thing is i was kinda wanting to put insulation over the pipe. Anyway great video great advice. i noticed that all your joints were actually done properly. I was watching each of the joints and you got it. The one thing people need to watch out for is to never connect male a solid meaning metal, brass, copper etc to a pvc female fitting. You did not do that. If you do the female pvc fitting will crack. Im an hvac guy 16+ years not a plumber but i know a bit about plumbing too. This guy seems to know quite a lot of neat super helpful tricks. Believe me i watched carefully and i didnt see any mistakes at all. such a good video. never seen a video with 0 dislikes EVER.

I have an inquiry; I’m trying to run water to two rooms that will service a washer and two sinks. I’m tapping off a 1/2 pvc that feeds a hose in the backyard. I wanted to tap from the main but they claim that tapping off will cause the house to lose pressure, not sure if that’s true or not. Will connecting from it(1/2 pipe in backyard) to a 3/4 pipe make it more pressurized or allow or allow it to have better water flow or is it already restricted since it’s from a 1/2 pipe or should I just keep it all 1/2”? It will only run about 25’ to the rooms. How much pressure do I need to have two sinks and a washer machine in an efficiency?

Noob question but why was pvc used and not pex?

Pex is another good product. I work with pvc all the time so I am more familiar with it and it’s capabilities. Nothing wrong with either product.

The main difference is that CPVC can withstand higher temps. It also has a higher resistance to highly chlorinated water. So it’s fine to use and helpful in some cases, but generally not necessary.

I’d guess it’s because pvc requires less tools and is less intimidating but I was just curious 😀

Thanks! I would say to add a few inches of rich loamy topsoil and till it in as best as you can. It may not perform quite as well in the heavily rooted area however.

I'd be careful about using pvc for a water main. Best to use copper! it's the most durable and reliable type to use for underground.

I disagree that sweating is more complicated than PVC cement even for a DIY'er, but why the claim that copper has less friction? I do not think that is true

Yea it's pretty easy to do lol Also yea metal has more friction loss than the pvc does, he got it backwards.
