The piece of pipe left by the county water crew was a 3/4 schedule 80 that was a bit poorly cut; I was able to finally thread a 3/4 brass female fitting and all is well.

Good info, thanks a lot!

The house is in Cartersville, GA, and the lowest temps we are seeing hear are 20 F. I thin I'll be using 10ft sections as this is what is available at the big box stores here. I'll stop by a specialized plumbing supplies store and see if I can find something better

Thank you Terry. I'm going to the property today and try again to match the threads.

The local water company wants me to install a shut-off valve, a pressure valve, and a check valve, in a separate box from the meter. This is a brand new installation as the house was on a well before. I will be running 1" pipe to the house, thinking of using PVC unless there is something better...

Nightmare 1960 Ranch home with 4 inch cast iron vent going through new roof. I want to replace Most of the CI with 3 inch PVC and use a 3” to 4 inch boot to connect the PVC to the stub of CI going through the roof. The CI is obviously very heavy and the toilet flange is resting on cinder blocks...

We just bought a large 3 bed 1 bath house on septic and fed by a well. We are adding a second bath to be the master bath, with a tub, toilet, and dual sink. The existing bath is on the opposite side of the house and has its own stack. I am planning on using a 2' pipe for venting and expanding...
