I am removing a carport concrete slab and will pour a new slab for an attached garage. Currently my water well casing and the supply lines to the house come up through the existing slab. I need to move the suppy lines to a different location and thought I would replace the copper lines up to the house. My questions:
1) What type of copper pipe should I use: Type M, L or K?
2) Rigid or coil?
3) Does code allow sweated fittings (couplings) under the slab?
4) Should the copper be encased in something where it goes through the slab?
5) How deep below the slab should the copper lines be placed?
6) Should the well casing be isolated from the new slab? The current slab is cracked where the casing penetrates the slab.
I will not know exactly what I have until the existing slab is removed so I may have more questions. There are 3 copper supply lines coming up through the slab. One is capped and the other two are connected to the well tank.
Any comments will be appreciated.
