Dennis what you are talking about is Plexco pipe or high molecular weight 
polyethylene (I think that is right)
That would make fine water line but it's too expensive.  The poly pipe in 
the other link I sent is what we are talking
about.  It's been in common use for water piping around farms since I was a 
child.

Subject: [AT] Water Lines

The posts on water lines were really informative. I am getting ready to 
install 500 to 600 feet of water line to connect a new cabin I am building 
on back of property where house in front burned down with Oklahoma 
wildfires.

Where can you purchase the rolled plastic pipe that was mentioned in some of 
the posts??

Is this similar to what is used for some gas lines??

Does it do joints by heating and pressing together??  if so does this work 
well?? where do you get tools for this??

This may be interesting for water lines, but I also want to try some 
experimenting with ground heat exchangers for heat and air. Having a long 
roll of plastic pipe would help with a few trial projects both in Oklahoma, 
and also here in Texas for my shop here.



Thanks,

Dennis
