Next spring I would like to bury about 220 ft of PE in the yard for general watering needs. This will replace an equal length of garden hose that has to be removed everytime the lawn is cut. The line starts flat, then goes downhill, with the outlet being about 10 feet lower than the source. The house plumbing is 3/4" copper.
My objective is to have a flow rate at least comparable to the existing garden hose setup. Will 3/4" PE fit the bill? Or would the barb fittings constrict the flow enough to make it worth using 1" PE instead?
