1950 built house.
At sometime sewer and water line replaced both in same trench.
Sewer is ABS.
Water line is some type of blue poloy pipe. Was is it?
A light color blue and not like the old blue/grey quest pipe.
Was connect with a barb fitting and hose clamp just like I have seen with the black poloy pipe used for main water lines.
Looks and feels like the black poloy pipe but a blue color.

thanks

This is most likely PEX. Look it up. A very neat set up. I prefer copper but most likely the previous owner had a re pipe done in PEX for cost.

Pretty sure it is not Pex. I used a lot of that. And the blue is a lighter color from the blue pex I have seen.

All I know for sure is that it was installed before 1999.
Looks, cuts and feels just like the black poloy pipe I have used as water main lines to meter. Just never heard of it coming in a light blue color.

I just finished splicing into it as I needed to extend it under the house. Used the same barb union as the black well pipe.
Was galvinized from 3 ft out from foundation running thru crawl space to main shut off.

There are a few guys up here that use a light blue poly type pipe for the lines from the well to the house, it connects just like black poly with an insert fitting and double clamps. I think it is rated for 200 psi.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
