How to connect hose tap to a fixed irrigation system?

Hi Team, 

I am referring to the following DIY video and has doubt on how to connect the pvc to the hose tap. Confusions is with how to make the connection flexible enough to detach and attach back so that I can use the same tap for other watering needs as well.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @fcjoseph. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting pipework to a garden tap.

As that is a fixed-pipe system, utilising rigid pipe, it likely wouldn't be the best solution to connect it to a singular outlet if you have other purposes for it. Instead of connecting directly to the tap, you'd install a manifold such as the Holman 2 Way Metal Tap Outlet. That way, the rigid pipe would be permanently connected to one outlet, and you could use the other to connect your garden hose. The beauty of that system is that they can both stay attached so no need to disconnect and re-connect any of your watering devices. The manifolds go right up to four-way if it's needed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. I went the same way, went little further by installing a wifi tap adapter with two outlets.
