I have a length of cold water copper pipe running from the basement to the garage (about 20 ft or so) and ending up as a faucet for gardening on the outside of the garage. I forgot to shut the water off during the winter and the copper pipe, with all its joints, broke in several places. There are so many joints that I'd like to convert the whole length to PVC. If I can use one length of pipe without joints in the run that would be great. I just need to know what type of adapter and/or fittings I need to do this. I'm plumbing challenged!
