Female garden hose to 3/4 PVC?

[Cameramonkey]

While standing there for 15 minutes filling my rolling trash can with my floppy hose (Yes, there is a joke in there) I realized I needed to build a fill nozzle.

I came up with the idea of a short piece to go down into the can, a 90, a couple inches to get to the outside, another 90, a straight piece, and then the threads to go to the garden hose. The weight of the hose will keep it hooked on the can and I can walk away.

But I cant think of a way to add those threads to pvc. Ideas?

Available at Menards and Lowe’, I believe. 3/4 pvc to 3/4 hose thread adapter…

This.

Hopefully they have a female thread. worst case I add a F/F adapter.

And I think my trouble in the past was trying to adapt to a SPECIFIC PVC size. Now that I think about it, I can go whatever size PVC because it really doesnt matter. And I want bigger than 1/2 or 5/8 because I want less static pressure to blast into the can. (less splashing)

Close the lid on the hose?

Nope. These are those soft flex hoses. close the lid, pinch off the water. I need a way to hook the hose over the side. I'll take pics when I am done.

And I dont want my hose anywhere near the inside of that can. I swear it smelled like death. Literally. Like somebody disposed of a body in that can.

And I dont know where they came from, but there were several dozen maggots floating when I dumped it. I didnt see them when I started.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Now Im seeing why I had trouble in the past. I keep seeing them as special order parts when I search the websites. The stores dont stock them.

EDIT Screw them. I cant get to the store till wednesday anyway, and Prime can have it at my door that day.

Try Lowes, got one in there last year for a similar project.

You could just put two hose 90° elbow together to make a U shape and maybe attach a washing machine hose to the end of that to go into the can.

Amazon product ASIN B07RX6HR89

Already tried. They are my go-to. Special order.
I’d have to jump thru hoops and adapt several times making the project expensive.
Ordered one from Amazon and will source the rest from Lowe’s.

I realize you have it figured out now. You could buy a cheap 25' hard hose, cut 5' off, and replace the cut off end and end up with a spare 20' hose. That's just my hillbilly fix.

If duct tape won't make it work...

JB Weld!!!!!

JB Weld is a miracle compound, but other than that, every toolbox should have duct tape and WD-40.

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40.

got it done, works great. I added a tee to reduce the splash and hopefully keep any soap I put in from splashing too much causing foam. I might also try a 45 aimed back at the side of the can to guide the water down the side to lessen the turbulence. Its not glued so it is easy to swap.
