Pex underground?

[raeiken]

I need to run 1/2 inch hot and cold water lines from a basement crawl space to a shed, the lines will run about 10ft underground. Can I use pex for this purpose?

Thanks,
Ron

Yes, and you can also install soft roll copper. Either way install an extra line as a spare, you just never know!! And if you ever need it .... it will be worth a million to you!!

Cape Cod is a beautiful place but too congested(traffic) in the summer, but october sounds good! The red tide was lifted a while back and that is a good thing because I'm a big seafood eater! Where are you coming from?

It is spelled West Newbury! ( I grew up in Newbury, a couple of miles away). Have to make a trip back every few years for clams.

Actually, isn't Plum Island part of Newbury?

[jimbo]

Most of Plum Island is in Newbury. The northern end is actually in Newburyport, and most of the southern end is a federal wildlife sanctuary. Can't even walk on the beach during certain months because of the piping plovers. By the way, this a a bird and not a plumber gone native!

[plumguy]

Oh yeah! That's right it splits into Newburyport! I've spent a lot of time on the island have friends that have a place. I have'nt been there this year however they were telling me that the winter really did a job on the(erosion) beach...I guess it is an effort(climb). There is too many bird lovers around there to mess with the plovers. :D
