In a closed circuit alarm (correct me if I'm wrong) a magnet pulls a metal switch closed so electricity can flow to the alarm, arming it, when the door opens and the magnet releases the switch the electricity is cut off and the alarm starts making some noise.Is the magnet inside the door?
PVC compression fittings are considered to be an emergency fix for temporary use. Not recommended for permanent installation. Plus the outside diameter of pvc and galvanized pipe is not the same. It would be better if you rethread the steel pipe after you cut it and use a union. Or best, hook up your irrigation system somewhere else rather than on the main line coming into the house. If you have any trouble with whatever tee and fittings you use, you are going to affect the entire household.
Add cycle studs to the tires, not sheet metal screws,they are too soft. Ride my bike in the winter with snowmobile picks in the tires. HAVE FUN.
you gotta have the little plastic rig that fits over the pipe put the nut on 1 st then the ring and tighten it up It wont leak
Go to your local hardware store and tell them what your doing. They will help you use the right fitting. When I do a job like that I also use silicon in the joint, BUT, you must fit everything together 100% correctly and you also must tighten everything then let it sit four 6 to 8 hours for the silicon to set up before you turn on the water. I have never had a leak.
Is there a friend of a relative that could go home with you? I would try to stay away from ever being alone. Don't stop calling the police or another adult if this happens again. Too many times that's when something serious actually happens, when you give up, that's probably what this guy is trying to do, get it to were people wont believe you anymore.
