Do not rush to throw away old polypropylene pipes. The plumber showed what a useful thing for the house can be made from trash

During major cleaning in the bathroom, it may be necessary to supply a thin jet of water with pressure. It will not be possible to provide a directed jet with a shower hose, since the water pressure in it will not be very high. But from the components remaining after the repair, it is quite possible to make a device that will provide a directed supply of water under high pressure. You can use such a device when cleaning sanitary equipment or when spraying plants in the country, while you can connect it to the central water supply system or to independent pump.

To make a sprinkler, you will need cuttings of polymer pipes of different sections, a shower hose, a liquid soap dispenser, a water supply unit with a shut-off tap, as well as a device for melting polymer pipes (if it is not available, you can use iron).

Stage 1: preparation of parts

From a flexible water hose we cut out a part that will play the role of a guide for the water flow. To do this, carefully cut off the end of the hose, stepping back from the movable clamping element 1 cm.

After extraction, we release the metal part from the rubber gasket and select a piece of pipe, the clearance of which will correspond to the size of the head of the resulting part and will allow you to fix the part inside.

We heat a fragment of a polymer pipe and fix a metal guide inside, slightly melting it into the molten polymer.

We heat a piece of pipe of the same section and fix the metal part on top with it so that it is inside the pipe.

After that, we cut the pipe so that the width of the fixing ring is only 0.5 cm.

Connect the resulting tube to the water supply unit.

Step 2: attaching the hose

Trim the ends of the flexible shower hose. At one of its ends, put on the cut ring left over from the previous operation. With a properly selected pipe diameter, the ring will go very tightly.

After that, fix the end of the hose on a plastic pipe with a metal tip. The inner surface of the hose consists of rubber, which will provide waterproofing. The hose should fit snugly on the metal pin.

After that, clamp the structure with a polymer ring.

Step 3: Preparing the Sprinkler

A dispenser for liquid soap or shampoo is suitable as a sprayer. Disconnect the dispenser together with the cover and remove the supply hose from it.

Pick up two pipe fragments, one of which will fit tightly on the sprinkler, and the second will fit tightly into the first.

Heat the ends of the pipes and connect them together by inserting a narrower tube inside a 1 cm wider one.

After cooling, cut off the narrow part. In this case, the lumen of the tube will decrease significantly.

Pass the free end of the flexible shower hose through the narrow opening.

Attach the feeder end of the dispenser to the opening of the hose by pressing it firmly into the hose.

After fixing, clamp the structure with a pipe fragment.

Stage 4: connection to the plumbing system

In order not to create a separate tie-in to the system, you can use a hose that supplies water to the washing machine. To do this, unscrew the swivel wheel, remove the hose and attach it to the sprinkler's plumbing unit.

The resulting device can be used for cleaning work in the bathroom or for cleaning small blockages in pipes.

You can organize a connection with a portable pump using such a hose and use the device in a country house or a personal plot for spraying fruit trees and shrubs. High pressure will allow you to spray over long distances, and a convenient dispenser will allow you to control the flow of water.
