Vinyl Tube and PVC question

Savager · 08-07-2006, 11:11 AM

How do I connect Vinyl Tube with PVC pipe? Is there a connector available? Do you think Lowes has one? What is it called?

Thanks.

Its called a hose barb connector.

They come in many shapes and sizes - say what you need, I have about 10 of them.

Is it a 1/2 vinyl hose that you need to connect to a 1/2 PVC etc?

I think 3/4 connector. I want to connect my new SCWD. Do you think this a hose barb connector available in Lowes?

Most Lowe's and Home Depots will have what you need, most barb fittings will be with the sprinkler parts. Depending on how you set this up there may be a few other items you'll need.

savager....I'm right near east brunswick and lowes & home depot have a great assorment of hose barbs and the likes. You should be golden, finding them there.
