I plan on running 200 feet or water line to a detatched garage spigot
and frost free hydrant. I bould the coiled black polyethelene NSF
rated 3/4 tube. My intention was to place a piece of 1 1/4 inch
conduit through my block wall and run the pipe through that so as to
avoid any sharp edges in the block then lay the rest of the pipe
directly in the ditch. Well, I did not realize how easily the stuff
kinked. I slightly kincked it going through the conduit. I quit right
there as it was getting dark. Will I have trouble with it kinking as I
un roll it in the ditch?

Not unless it's 20 degrees when you're doing it.

Is it ok to have a slight kink? Will this
stuff be ok once it is in the ground?

You should have used a bigger sleeve. It should be fine in the ground.


Also in the garage a played with the fittings and the barbs will not
go in by hand.

Try putting a wrench on the barb fitting and turning it as you push it into
the pipe.

If I heated it with a torch, to the point of it
catching on fire I could slide it on but will this dammage the pipe or
cause a leak?

If it's catching on fire you're using too much heat. If you need heat a heat
gun would be a better option.

This is my first try at working with the stuff and I did not realize
how fragile it is. WIll it kink when I fill in dirt and tamp it?

Any help is appreciated!

It's really not fragile, especially the thicker walled stuff for water
service. Uncoiling it and letting it relax first might help. Backfill with
sand, not rocks.
