Install Main Pipe Shut-off Valve and Covers
At 3:31 in
You've never seen livestock watering system like this! Automatic No Electricity!
What happens here
Cut the existing 3/4-inch poly pipe (be prepared for water spillage as the pipe is full). Immediately slide on a hose clamp, then firmly attach a new shut-off valve to one end of the cut pipe. Secure the valve with the hose clamp. Repeat this for the other side of the cut pipe, connecting a new section of poly pipe to continue the line. Ensure the hose clamps are tightened securely but carefully to avoid stripping. Position protective pipe covers, such as Titan Attachments cable ramps, over the poly pipe where vehicles (like a Kubota utility vehicle or zero-turn mower) will cross to protect the line from damage. These covers interlock like LEGOs and have a hinged lid for easy pipe placement. Zip-tie the main poly pipe line to the existing fence to elevate it off the ground, preventing damage from weed whackers and creating a tidy appearance. Install the main shut-off valve at a convenient location, such as a fence corner, for easy access.
Goal: Install a primary shut-off valve on the main poly pipe line and place protective covers over the pipe where vehicles will cross to prevent damage and ensure system longevity.
