Comfortable shower in the car trunk


The summer season has come to an end and it's time to start preparing for ... the next summer season. And what a summer without a shower and trips to nature. The author decided to combine field trips and the ability to take a shower. To do this, he decided to make such a shower so that he could fit on the trunk of the car.

Tools and materials:
- PVC pipe;
-2 stubs;
-Tee;
- The valve is tubeless;
-Crane;
-Safety valve;
-Hose;
-Spray;
-FUM tape;
-Primer;
-Paint;
-Drill;
-Burner;
-Roulette;
- Adjustable wrench;
-Saw;



Step 1: Pipe Connection
By measuring the trunk of the car, the author of the project, cut off the right amount of pipe. I assembled all the parts and tried on the trunk of the car.



Step 2: Glue the pipe parts together
Applies a primer to the bonding points, then glue and connects the parts.




Step 3: Install Stop Valves
Installs a safety valve. The safety valve is designed for 21.6 psi, but the author does not recommend exceeding a pressure of more than 15 psi.

On the tee marked the place for the valve tubeless tires. I drilled a hole and installed a valve.




Set the ball valve. He noted the installation location and drilled with a drill of the desired diameter. Then he warmed the hole with the burner and cut the thread with the threaded end of the tap. I wrapped the fum tape, screwed in the tap.






Step 4: Strength Test
Through the valve I pumped air into the fabricated container. A pressure test of 15psi showed that all nodes and connections hold firmly.

Step 5: painting the pipe
So that the shower does not stand out against the background of the car and the trunk, the author decided to paint it black. He hung up the pipe and covered with spray paint.




Step 6: Installing and refilling the shower with water
Sets the shower on the trunk and fixes it firmly.

Having removed the safety valve, it fills in water and replaces the valve.



Through the valve pumps air.

Connects a spray hose.


Now you can use the shower.

Businessstop demagoguery pogranec performs its work, and is not responsible for the actions of the authors in the home-made products that he observes.

Do not develop this topic anymore.

You (or me) came here not for money, but they - FOR IT
Valery, you are right, of course, at first I came for just that. So there were circumstances. Now there is no such need and I am writing articles because I like to do it.

Ivan, I’m already tired of poking around in that soul honestly. I do not know whether this glue softens or not and there is no desire to find out. I already wrote that I came across in articles only such compositions of glue. What does it change in essence? Will the connection not be so strong from this? I doubt that you can connect in any way and they are no worse and no better just different. Man made enjoys and enjoys.

Ivan, I will not even insist that all pipes are 100 percent reliable, manufacturing defects and missiles are killed. But we will not assume that someone in the production of the couple didn’t naughty there correctly and therefore we will put 3 more covers on the pipe. The man did everything works, nothing exploded and I think it is unlikely to explode. The maximum will start to etch along the seam.

Now find out about this glue, that it is "not really" gluing. "It is more likely to soften the upper layers with subsequent solidification.".

I understand you are not a writer, but so respect those who can do this.

blush Are you a writer here? You are a writer of other people's works, with high ambitions and high opinion of yourself. I, too, special correspondent, even angered.

Sorry, again, that wedged ...
.... To business, well, you're wrong here! Yes, people here are copying other people's works. But this is the normal form of EARNING on the Internet! You (or me) came here not for money, but they - FOR IT! And this is normal! And it does not give you the right to consider their activities something unworthy! It's just that their type of activity is different from yours. That's all. IT'S DIFFERENT!!!! And they (types of activity) cannot be compared in any qualitative aspect! And you have a direct disregard for those who rewrite someone else’s ...
.... Again, about criticism ...
Let’s imagine that I (or you, it doesn’t matter) is really a super-mega-expert in absolutely any field and have enormous experience in all areas ... And now, I am reading an article about homemade goods that I don’t like! Naturally, I write: "Homemade work is done wrong! Because this is not so! This is this - you can do it like this, and then it will be better, because it will not be like that, but like that!" After this, the author tries, for example, to refute me, but I am proving to him ARGUMENTED that I'm right! This is criticism! Criticism of a person who has earned the right to criticize looks exactly like that. And the author (if not tyrant) for such criticism will only be grateful ....
And if I write simply: “This is all bullshit!” To the question “Why” I will answer “You won’t get it! You don’t have enough mind! And in general, you are all here - pid @ p @ sy, only I am Dartanyan ! "..... Sorry, but this is not criticism! And she will not add respect to me from the “critics”! Even if I really do, Dartanyan thrice! )))))))

You claimed that the pipe is designed for much greater pressure, I answered you that the weak point is gluing, there is no guarantee. Or will you continue to insist that gluing is guaranteed to provide the necessary strength? You yourself come up with theses and refute them, and not what was said. :(
And the causes of defects when gluing PVC pipes are in bulk, these can be: poor cleaning of the glued surfaces, uneven application of glue, unevenness on the glued surfaces, drying of the glue, low ambient temperature, improper movements when connecting parts, poor shaking of the container with glue, insufficient fixation of glued parts, their displacement during the hardening of the glue.

By the way, before, I always soldered pipes, but now I think I need to purchase glue in the kit. There are hard-to-reach places.

On Amazon for 6.78, in the description for pipes under pressure, well, of course, it was made in China

Ivan may be this is not an argument, it can be glued together badly, it can be well, it can be insulated badly by anyone, be killed by electric current, it is poorly secured, the load crushed someone, etc.

pogranec, right! For any reason, there can be a defect in gluing, and the price of a defect in a container with air under pressure can be very high.

pogranec, I will facilitate your task: the author applied Oatey glue "All purpose cement". ;)

Therefore - no guarantee.
So there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever all of a sudden I did it.

Ivan pipes are soldered and connected with glue-This we found out. Pipes work in heating too. Modern heating, even in private homes, is already under pressure. But do not you claim that the connection there is unreliable.

Did I doubt that such adhesives exist? Read the question carefully again: if you claim that the glue used softens the material of the pipe and the plug, then, therefore, you know the brand of glue. Or is it absolutely all PVC adhesives that soften the material?
And even if super-duper-megaclay is applied, the quality of the connection is determined not only by him, but by the degree of diligence-experience-sloppy-attentiveness of the one who glued. Therefore - no guarantee. :(

I met this when I described home-made pipes with pipes earlier, I don’t remember the foreign source without thinking, but if you insist, I will look.

pogranecwhat are you based on? What brand of glue? In any case, the strength of this compound is not guaranteed.

Reply To quote A complaint
the gap is in a weak place, that is, in the adhesive joint
Ivan This is not exactly “bonding” This is rather a softening of the upper layers with subsequent solidification. The connection is not inferior in strength to what is obtained by soldering the pipe.

According to the author, the plastic pipe can withstand 100 psi, which is roughly 7 atm. And you want to say that it will tear?

Alas, the strength of the pipe has nothing to do with it: the gap is in a weak place, that is, in the glued joint with unnormalized strength. It’s good that there is a safety valve, but if it doesn’t work, there can be more troubles.

if you do not pour it under the very neck, then the pressure is sufficient.
Just the more air - the more dangerous.

For two days I tried to find out from you what is wrong with this shower. Finally you condescended to an explanation. I will not even discuss the first point. This is just nonsense.The second point is controversial, it’s convenient for you, as you wrote, to the author as he did. Now, on point 3: If you read carefully, the valve is installed in the upper part of the tee and if you do not fill it under the neck, then the pressure is sufficient. In some photos, the water really flows by gravity, but the author has relieved pressure to save water. What is he writing about. Now to you and To Ivan about the pressure. According to the author, the plastic pipe can withstand 100 psi, which is roughly 7 atm. And you want to say that it will tear? I have 2 sprayers at home. I pumped one (the valve didn’t work), the bottle just went all along the seam. The cylinder is plastic. Now again, to you Delausam. As for what you do not wake up, so do not make you no one forces. You just lived to see gray hair, but you didn’t learn how to talk to people. Did not like my criticism of your so-called homemade products? So what they achieved and received. My “rewritten” articles can even be discussed, and yours can be discussed to no avail because it is not known who did it. Yes, and written illiterate. I understand you are not a writer, but so respect those who can do this.

Point 3 is really very serious. It is not for nothing that pneumatic testing of pipelines is carried out in relatively rare cases with serious restrictions and with additional safety measures. Hydraulic, even at higher pressures, are much safer. For example, in paragraph 3.1 of RD 26-12-29-88 "Rules for conducting pneumatic tests of products for strength and tightness" it is expressly stated that "In the process of pneumatic tests, the main danger is the energy accumulated in the system, the value of which several orders of magnitude morethan during hydraulic tests. "().

an assessment of what has been said can only be given by one who knows a lot about this
Well, let's order an examination. smile For the rest, I will unsubscribe later there simply is no time, I’ll go look for someone who understands this: laughing: I’ll just laugh from your post.

And so on your (your soul) soul.
I want to warn you right away, only someone who knows and understands this can give an assessment of what has been said.
I will not argue and prove more (further).
1. The design itself, mounted on the trunk on the one hand, entails (due to decent weight and "water chattering", as well as an increased center of gravity), a serious risk of a car tipping over in corners. One way load (skew) + driver weight (constantly). The mount should be quite reliable and strong, so that this “torpedo” does not ram the oncoming car due to a decent weight due to inertia (it will fly out into the oncoming lane).
Constantly you will not carry it, which means that before each trip to nature, it needs to be installed and refueled. And upon arrival, dismantle.
Which is not entirely convenient, for example, it is easier to take a regular plastic canister and connect a hose to it and put it on the same trunk.
2. The design itself. If all the same, "unbearable." It is more convenient to take the pipe as a whole, not cut it in the center (weakening the structure), well, if again "unbearable" to install a straight tee 90 *, not 45 *. Which is much more convenient in everything.
We muffle the whole pipe on the one hand, and install a corner (and not a tee) on the other. The location of the corner at the end allows you to simplify the design. There was an opportunity through the "window" of the corner, to mount and control the outlet valve, nipple .. It is more convenient to fill the tank and serve at the end of the pipe.
3. The very design of "pumping" air. Where can this air be pumped? A pipe full of water?
If you do not even top up, how much air will fit there at 1 atm. pressure. In any case, it is not enough for normal work, which we observe in the author’s photo.It will not work to create water pressure due to air, an empty idea. This is done in a completely different way and not with a plastic pipe, and you can get a pumpkin from a pipe explosion (at overpressure).
Basically in the photo, the water flows by gravity, which confirms what was said. The question is, is it worth it to fence a "garden"? Isn’t it easier and safer to use a separate container (and put it already on the trunk in place of a picnic) or use a "toptun" shower? This is so without going into the little things.
I won’t do such a shower. Empty and unnecessary costs.

Yes, I wanted at first, but I remembered that I had a scale + a foot pump on a conventional compressor in both the bar and the psi I also thought with such a scale that this was not so important.

For a Russian-language site, it would be necessary to convert pounds per square inches to the units we have.
