Default How to replace water pipe

Any ground shift will be accepted by the soft tubing, while hard drawn
"copper pipe" will be compromized. flexible copper pipe, and NOT in a
perfectly straight line, is best. Absorbs expansion and contraction
from temp changes without "growing" into the house or "shrinking"
away.

I wonder how many fitting the OP has to use in this 50' run. How many
fittings will be buried in the ground, that each pose a chance of
LEAKING again.

Fewer is 'bestest' :-\
