2017年8月10日 · My driveway is 550' long, and the water meter is at the road. So far I have determined I should be happy with a 1.5" ID pipe, for the flow I am considering. I was all set to pull the trigger on HDPE pipe (NSF rated, 200 PSI), until I read some articles that claim this type of pipe becomes brittle with time when exposed to water disinfectants (read chlorine, chloramine, …

Then add glue to cover every place the pipe and fitting will have contact meaning the while socket and enough pipe. Push the pipe in and twist it 1/4 turn all in one movement.

2012年6月13日 · Re: Best Underground Plastic Water Pipe/Tube to use? 06/14/2012 9:24 AM KJK. you may be better served with a larger line because with a smaller pipe diameter you will experience greater pressure loss due to wall friction.

2014年11月30日 · Schedule 40 PVC, 1 1/2" to first outside hydrant I like 1" hydrant. Then 1" to house. 3/4" into house to water heater, rest of pipe inside house, 1/2". We always used schedule 80 fitting start and end, slip (glue) to FIP (female iron pipe) thread. Don't use Galvanized pipe anymore especially if you have high minerals.

2020年8月26日 · I am NOT a fan of buried rigid PVC pipe for water well supply line as it can crack and leak in underground applications. I ran 1.25 flexible poly pipe inside a 3" PVC conduit pipe to protect it and it gives it some R-Value protection since it's thermally disconnected from the surrounding soil. Went 24" deep but that depends on where you live.

2024年4月18日 · Option 3 is to tap into a 3/4″ underground poly pipe that leads to a garden spigot. This cuts the trench length in half, and saves having to hire a contractor to do the well pump install. The complication with this is that the garden spigot has to be shut off seasonally. This is currently done by means of a valve inside the house.

2013年6月26日 · However not all lines were marked & some places we had sucker rod, dug down & no water lines. With the new build we have lines underground all around the house it seems. (honestly not happy about it, but to late now). We have 5 wells for the geothermal, septic, electric (buried), propane, dish & water lines.

2010年11月13日 · When you turn the faucet off, it drains the water down to the bottom of the pipe. You need the water to run away, you need a pile of gravel at the bottom, in my clay soil I ran a 3 inch drain tile along with the water line so the drain water has someplace to go, away from the faucet pipe.--->Paul

2007年11月9日 · whatever you do, make sure the pipe is free of ground water ever getting to the pex. I wrapped each of my lines with armorflex then wrapped it all with the silver bubble wrap then I wrapped the entire kit and kaboodle with shrink wrap then shoved it all into a 5 inch diameter plastic corrugated field tile.

A. The water enters the perforated pipe through the perforations (holes). Once there is 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of the perforated pipe, the water begins flowing downhill (by gravity) through the solid pipe to the sewer. (By the way, I hope that your municipality allows you do connect a footing drain to the municipal sewer system.
