How to make a shower system from PP pipes
How to make a liner for a watering can from polypropylene pipes
We unscrew the flexible hose from the mixer and, turning it around the longitudinal axis 180 degrees in any direction, tighten the cold and hot water union nuts. In this case, the mixer fitting will be on top.
We will need a PN20 polypropylene pipe, a tee with a metal outlet, a 120-degree rotary angle, a coupling and a clip of the appropriate diameter - all also made of polypropylene. From the plastic pipe we cut 2 pieces 120 cm and 25 cm long.
Using a soldering iron, we heat metal fittings with similar threads: a plug with an external thread and an adapter coupling with an internal thread.
In the through holes of the tee and the plastic coupling we form an internal thread using a plug with an external thread.
At the ends of the pipe sections we form an external thread using the internal thread of the adapter coupling. To quickly cool the parts, we use a cuvette with water.
Instead of a metal connecting nut, we screw a plastic coupling onto the inlet hole of the shower head, and a short tube to the other end.We screw a 120 degree angle onto one end of the long tube, and a tee onto the other end.
We fix the tee with the through side to the outlet threaded hole of the mixer.
We plug the tee outlet with a plastic plug. We screw a short tube with a watering can at the end into the corner. We fix the long tube higher with a clip fixed to the wall.
The shower made of polypropylene pipes and fittings is ready for use.
