Pocster Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 As I find new things to avoid finishing the build Iv’e constructed an automated irrigation system . The issue I have is that black pipe to pump fitting . Tried silicone and ct1 . No matter what ; it works loose and of course water sprouts everywhere bar down the pipe . Any suggestions for something that can be water tight , outdoors and completely submerged ?
crispy_wafer Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 (edited) Wider diameter hose with a jubilee clip over the pump outlet, then a step down adapter from that into your irrigation system. Surely got to be something on Amazon or Ali that’ that’ll fit Edited June 22, 2024 by crispy_wafer

Surely got to be something on Amazon or Ali that’ that’ll fit Yeah I thought about that type of thing . I was concerned that say putting a jubilee clip around the skinny black pipe ( 6mm I think ) to a fitting and then a thick er pipe might be an issue . Skinny black pipe aka irrigation pipe not particularly strong - jubilee might split / dent it ?? .
crispy_wafer Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 Might be able to get a brass fitting that would reinforce the hose under a clip 1
