Coiled tubing for water line?

[frodo]

20' length on the pvc pipe i wish they made 40' joints
the pipe comes with a hub end
10 joints of pipe would be 10 glue joints

The Home depots up this way don't offer any of that stuff, for some reason.
I put in a Louisiana zip code and it came up.
Strange!

Pex tubing would be your best bet.
You can purchase rules, fitting and crimping tool from home depot.
When you are finished with tool just return to home depot.
They will take the return as long as you tell them the tool wasn't that you thought it was.

Or just for a couple or so connections, you can buy those expensive sharkbite push-to-connect fittings.

we use 80-100 psi poly for sprinklers, 120-140 psi for wells and 160-200 psi poly for water. If you are trying to fix a 500;
foot waterline the least joints you have the better. I agree that whatever you are using to fix your issue temporarily should be your permanent fix also. In my state pvc is not allowed anymore for drinking water. If you have it its ok but no new work. I would do something temporary[above ground} until you are through the wet season. If you are only 12" down rent a trencher. You can use hose barb fittings and hose clamps. You should be able to do it in a day.

what state are you in wood?

 

[Diehard]

I believe the initial effort was to bypass a section of existing buried line to help find the location of the leak as well as have water to the house in the meantime.

I was about to ask wood4d the same question. My town only puts in Type K soft copper up to the property lines while many towns in my State standardly use higher pressure rated Poly.

nj national standard plumbing code We can use copper but the cost is unappealing

42" min. depth

kind of funny the different local codes
here, we only use the black poly pipe for sleeve material through footers, and up through the slab.
[I personally use black 1'' arma flex insulation ]
it does get used for water lines out in the country.

we use pvc from the meter to within 5' of the house

a couple of counties use pvc from the tap to the meter
most use copper with flared joints

PVC is allowed by the 2018 NSPC. So is that a NJ amendment to the code?

 

[wood4d]

nj hasnt even passed the 2015 code yet In house cpvc is allowed

Oh ..WOW. Their going to start reviews of the proposed 2021 NSPC next month.

I am confused Wood
are you saying that in NJ pvc is outlawed outside and inside?

or just inside

it is outlawed inside here also

 

[TomFOhio]

The ground has probably cracked the pipe someplace in the line. I would do like Euston said and try to use the same
pipe that you are dropping in the ditch later.

I understood it as, "In NJ pvc is not allowed anymore for drinking water.
But CPVC is allowed for inside.

When I found that the 2018 NPC does allow it, he said NJ hasn't even adopted the 2015 code yet. So apparently, whatever the code was before 2015 doesn't allow it.

However, I found where NJ has adopted the 2015 code. So I'm anxious to hear what he has to say about that.
