Title: Laying pipes below frostline?
Post by: Pj on April 05, 2009, 12:06:33 pm

Any ideas how deep to lay water pipes to be safely below the frostline?

I am moving my outside tap sometime now that the warmer weather is coming.  Part of the task will involve a new coldwater feed from outsde my house across about 20 - 25 ft to my RO.
