From Educational Innovations Inc ("Teachers serving teachers") a plastic fitting and an o-ring for a buck and a quarter:
Finally! An inexpensive and quick way to attach standard soda bottles to PVC piping for use in many STEAM projects such as bottleponic, hydroponic and aquaponic gardens, dispensers, or whatever the imagination can come up with. Made from food grade PVC and includes a food grade O-ring which forms a seal around the neck of the bottle. Fits into any 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC socket fitting.
PVC adhesive required, not included. NOT for pressure applications.
"Not for pressure applications." So I wouldn't want to use it to make a 20-gallon pressure tank out of soda bottles. Interesting nonetheless.

I manufacture the bottle bushing. "Not for pressure" covers my A if someone gets hurt pressurizing a system with air. Did you know it is illegal to convey compressed air in pvc? A failure and the rapid expansion will send pvc shrapnel at high speed. Not good! But the bottle bushing does hold pressure. The bottle will fail before the bushing. Just wanted you to know! Jim
I did not know. Thanks!
Interesting concept, this fitting of yours. I like it.
