Running out door water line
Hello, I’m planning to install an outdoor faucet at my lake front, which is 150 ft , down a decent slope. The faucet will be unused and drained in the winter time, I was planning on tapping close to my main, installing a shut off valve and out my house and into my trench down to a simple post mounted spigot. My question is would PEX be acceptable for outdoor, buried use? It’s fairly simple plan but i wanted to just ask the pros for some insightful advice before I may run into any unforeseen problems.
I know PEX has an issue with direct or indirect sunlight, so I would think it is not recommended for outside use. I would use standard black poly well pipe. You can get it in smaller sizes at irrigation supply stores and they will be able to set you up with what you need to make it work.
