Solder joints are not allowed under a concrete slab inside a building. Underground or outside there is no problem with them. L is adequate. PVC should not be installed inside a building. : I need to run a 1 inch cold water line from the crawl space
: under my house to supply a group of lawn sprinkler valve
: that are a few feet from the house. There is already a trench
: under the foundation. I'd like to use copper, but have
: been told that soldered joints should not be buried,
: and therefore, coiled copper tubing should be used.
: Is this correct? Should I use type L or K? I've been
: advised not to use plastic supply pipe under the house.
: Can coiled copper tubing be soldered, or are flare or
: compression fittings required? : Thanks, Mike
