Within the last few years I repiped my entire house with a manifold system using Apollo Pex A.
I have a 1/2 in Pex A dedicated line running to a hose bib in my non insulated garage. During the winter months it’s valved off and drained down.
I’m about to trench power to a detached shed and figured a hose bib would be nice since I’m already digging.
Assuming I’m running a pipe below the frost line and going approximately 60 linear feet from the garage, is 1/2 Pex sufficient to maintain proper volume/pressure or should I transition to a 3/4 poly yard pipe? This would be t’d off the line already running into the garage.
If running the Pex A there would be no fittings underground. The house has close to 80psi water pressure if it makes a difference.
Any thoughts/ lessons learned would be appreciated.
