Hello:
I want to add two additional sillcocks to my house to help with watering my garden beds. Both of these would be on opposing sides of an attached unheated garage. So, I was going to tap into the current copper pipe that leads to a spigot in the garage and run cvpc pipe to opposite sides of the garage and drill through the wall and attach sillcocks.
But since everything will be unheated in this area I need to flush this section of pipe in the winter. I saw in a plumbing book a recommendation to add a valve(?) that would allow compressed air to be attached and blow out the water. I can't find anything that resembles the recommendation. So, my question is how do you use compressed air to blow out the water in a section of piping. What kind of fixture would I use?
