What happens here

Take a section of 6-inch corrugated single-wall pipe. Using a drill with a hole saw, create holes five 'rungs' up on opposite sides of the corrugated pipe. Then, use a razor knife to cut a vertical slit between the top hole and the bottom edge of the pipe. This allows the ball valve assembly to be inserted laterally. This hand hole will be partially buried in the ground, providing convenient access to the ball valve for operation or maintenance while protecting it from damage.

Goal: Construct a hand hole from corrugated pipe and install it around the ball valve for easy access and protection.

Tools and materials

  • Corrugated Single-Wall Pipe (6 inch)

that it fits down in what I'm going to make, which is a hand hole. This will go down in the ground and it will have a cap on it. I have already done one of these and it works absolutely fantastic. And this is just a hand hole like you would use for a sprinkler system. And this will be up out of the ground about that far. It'll have a nice good cap on it so that cows cannot get their feet entrapped in it. I'm gonna show you how I make the hand hole. And it involves a hole saw and a razor knife. Cool. This is going to sit down in the ground. I don't want my pipe to be right smack on the ground. My valve I want my valve to be elevated probably about two inches or so. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to drill my first hole five rungs up on this corrugated. I'm going to go exactly on the opposite side just like so. Next thing I'm going to do is I'm just going to take my razor knife and I'm going to cut a slit. Boy. And then I'm going to replace the blade on my knife. Little slit there. Now, I'm not going right up the center. I'm going off to the side just a little bit. There we go. Now, this valve will be housed inside here. That's how I got the valve inside there by putting the slit. If I want to go crazy with it, I can zip tie this thing back together right where I'm at. But that allows me to access my
