I'm new here so forgive my not looking through the archives...I'm lazy too.
What I am trying to do is tap an underground 5/8" OD/1/2" copper water line to provide water to a buried 55 gallon drum which will have a hand pump attached so children can experience the pleasure of pumping water such as their fore fathers had.
My conundrum is this; what is the best way to tap the existing water line?
I'm going from 1/2" copper to 3/4" PVC...maybe a saddle valve or 3 way connection using compression couplings; I've even pondered somehow using Shark Bites.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
