Underground Pipe
December 30th, 2008
Can I install copper pipe underground?
I am installing a water softener at my house. It will be installed in a shed in the backyard. I need to run 1-1/4″ copper pipe from my main supply pipe to the shed. My questions are:
1. Can I solder the fittings with standard lead-free solder?
2. Do I need to ground the pipe? I am connecting to and existing copper line and the pipe will be buried about 12″ deep and be about an 8′ run.
3. Any other considerations?
you do NOT solder lines for in the ground use. Any fittings should be ford fittings which are designed for underground applications. You are better off running black plastic well pipe. It is cheaper, faster and designed for it. If you choose copper then you will need to use K copper only with the combination of ford fittings. Either way the need to be below frost line and should be covered in stone screening for protection. Hope that helps.
