This stuff gets buried all the time for those outdoor wood furnace installs.
It's incredibly easy to work with. You can't make a very small radius turn,
but otherwise it installs about like garden hose...

Subject: [Shop-talk] pex piping question
thinking about this PEX stuff and ease of install... I have a 3/4" water
line
in unattached garage...never been used... I'd like to extend this line to
another area of the yard (on other side of driveway and building..and
install
a hydrant for watering seems like a quick ditching job and laying this stuff
in the hole would make quick work of it...
surely they make copper/pex adapters for the tie in... and pex/galv for the
hydrant end... with appropriate cut offs and drain valves... and maybe a
cutoff with a air coupling in the garage to blow it all down come winter...
is this stuff good for underground burial ?? would it work well and be
cheaper than pvc ??
thanks
John
and happy Memorial day to all
