what type of pipe for buried water line?

Hello,

I had a pipe break recently in the water line running to a workshop behind my house. The existing pipe is galvanized that was buried and eventually rusted through. I want to abandon the pipe completely and run a new line.

I am on a budget so...What about the white plastic pipe? What type should I use for servicing mini kitchen, shower, toilet, etc...

Also is galvanized a good choice? Probably not because it rusted out? It may be fifty years old though.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Go with PVC, Schedule #40 for the service line. Go with CPVC, Schedule #40 in the workshop. Good luck, Tom

labman agrees: Cheap and DIY friendly. You have to move up to the tan colored CPVC for any hot water lines.
