How to join 5 tubes to a single outlet without buying the 6-way adapter!

[@listerdave1240]

I'm not quite sure how buying 6 fittings and the other parts needed and spending all that time is better than just buying the 6 way fitting in the first place. Even if the exact fitting is not available it would be much better to make a manifold out of tees.

[@martyclack8782]

A greed

[@5-MinuteCreative-IQ]

This way will be used when lacking

[@ger2905]

This system is much better than the tee or accessory 6. since it greatly reduces the loss of pressure to several users

[@homemadeapplepie4581]

I think the point is in some parts of the world full selection of parts might not be available and you have to figure it out

[@n.gawlinski7338]

lo q voy a decir es que lo que usted ha hecho es un buen trabajo. Muchos de los comentarios en inglés dicen que no vale la pena hacerlo como usted lo ha hecho, pero muchos de los comentarios no saben q no se puede conseguir esas partes especiales en LATAM. buen trabajo, fue un gusto mirar este video

Me alegro leer su comentario, muchas gracias N. Gawlinski

[@kingmanarizona2661]

It's really a video of how to turn a 5 minute job into 1 hour. If you really did not want to buy a 6-way and maybe one elbow, you would attach four 3-ways in parallel and be done in 10 minutes.

You can buy o-rings to fit that half inch conn. However the seal should be on the inside and not the outside.

The piece you built is not rated for high water pressure. It will fail very quickly. Best bet is to build a manifold using tees. Sure, it may cost more than a six way (because they are hard to find) but it won't fail.

[@mybit7470]

You are a genius!!!!!!!!!!! Keep inventing!

[@keith2498]

What's the cost difference between this and buying 6 way adapter?

[@bendover4154]

The difference is not being able to make a video showing that your time isn't worth anything.

[@mrnapolean1]

May not be able to obtain the 6 way adapter or may cost too much for it. not everyone has a The Home Depot or Lowes in their backyard.

[@bendover4154]

@@mrnapolean1 It's not fair to use logic to support your views! Besides, it makes it really difficult to argue when you make sense. 😉

[@bendover4154]

Actually now that I think about it, I've never seen a 6 way adapter for sale anywhere.

[@keith2498]

Needs something to drain water out of bottom of the manifold. First Global Warming freeze in Texas and that thing cracks like a bad Demonrat melon.

[@ehi3398]

Isn't it easier to just buy the adaptor? And cheaper too!

[@justinadam6359]

Agree. Probably intended for someone with too much time on their hands.

[@jasonsexton8869]

It depends on the area. If you're doing irrigation work in the boonies, or your local Hopeless Despot(Home Depot) doesn't have the part, this might be what the video is aimed at. I still would have replaced the innertube with actual rubber washers, but that's me.

[@johnrabenius5602]

You don't really need a seal either - just cement the fittings into the distribution box when you screw everything together.

[@KO1967]

or you could just use one 4-way adapter (1 up, 3 in a T formation) and join two 3-way Ts to the left and right of the 4-2ay adapter for a configuration of in coming from the top, out going east, west, south, south, south. Much easer than this contraption

[@miker252]

Exactly what I was picturing in my mind.

You should not use schedule 20 pipe for pressured water. It is for waste drain and vent. The walls are too thin. The 4 “ pipe and cap are schedule 20.

[@virgilviereckjr.6881]

Great idea, 👍👌

[@boeubanks7507]

So, a few points: This is not remarkable. You just made a distribution box. You modified fittings, which is a no-no in nearly all code jurisdictions. The parts cost alone is way more than a six way fitting. The time spent modifying all these parts and putting them together is probably more than what it would have taken to get a six way at the local hardware store. The distribution box is made of substantially thinner material than the pipes, so you just invalidated the pressure rating of the entire system. The only benefit of this is that it will likely distribute more evenly than a six way 5 it is basically just a small low-pressure tank. Interesting but it's definitely not worth the effort.

[@KalijahAnderson]

So you spent three times as much to have an adapter you made, that leaks like crazy. Great job showing why you should just buy an adapter instead of wasting your time doing this.

[@tykellerman6384]

Perfecto senor🤠👍

[@mesranhobbies3799]

MANTAP VIDEONYA....done sb

[@Iceflkn]

Doesn't that lower the pressure coming out of every single tube by going into a larger expanded area before separating?

[@JoeCoolPilot]

Yep, this guy doesn’t know the physics of fluid dynamics…

[@upToTheMike]

No, it doesn't. Once the system is full and pressurized, it's the same. If anything it will decrease the fluid friction to each tap. It still doesn't seem worth it to me. I would use a manifold of tees like mentioned by others.

[@jonathanklopf7581]

how silly can you get? all that work rather than just use the adapter. your assuming people have a scrap piece of 4" pvc laying around and a couple of 4" caps. i'd be willing to bet the price of those 2 caps would offset the price of the adapter, correct me if i'm wrong, not too mention all the labor.

[@Icedel777]

If it was the end of the world scenario, I could see this becoming worth doing. Though I would rather buy a figure 5 fitting. A few things your 3 or 4 inch pipe is thin wall so therefore, it wouldn't hold up to pressure water. I also think that you bought sewer pipe for potable water instead of pressure PVC. The next thing is you didn't use primer or the correct glue for potable water. Also, even though you put made washers in that it will not hold for long. You should have used pipe dope and Teflon tape as well as the washers. You don't have to take my word for it. I've just been plumbing for 25 years. 😊

[@gusmotorsports]

[@jasonsexton8869]

But will it have equal water pressure to all the output ends? This has a trap for standing water at the bottom which isn't ideal, but it does allow for a resevoir and pressure to build so the water more evenly flows down all the outlets.

[@pilarmendez2046]

I would not have sealed the top with the glue because with the water there's gonna form all kinds of mold inside there that's gonna need to be cleaned out eventually. Not sure how much the adapter would cost but it couldn't have been much more than all that extra plastic that you purchased. It is an intriguing idea but again I would not have sealed the top because all that mold that's gonna form inside there it's gonna have to be cleaned out often

For $22 you can buy a 10 pack of 6-way adaptors at Amazon, delivered tomorrow. The cost of doing this whole ting would be a higher price, plus the time it took you to make it (figure an hour at least), plus the rubber gaskets are going to be your big failure point here. If this is all you had to work with then at least you can do it; however, it isn't along term solution for something that will last. This falls under the Mad Max world where you cannot get the proper things at all.

I think id just design it and then 3D print it. If you don’t have a 3D printer I’m sure there are print farms that would print it. This seems like it would fail under the most minor stress conditions.

I'm no expert. Surely an engineer would know. If that very thin wall "homemade manifold" holds pressure, and not all 5 outlets are running at once, the pressure would equal the incoming once the volume is full.
