This is the first time I ever heard of orangeburg pipe being used for
pressurized water delivery. If he has some pics of how they applied
fittings to it to use with a typical water system, faucets, etc, I'm
sure others here would be interested in seeing it too.

As to passing a PEX through it, I think you have an excellent idea
there. Wonder what size this pipe is? I've never seen O pipe smaller
than 4", which was used for sewer and similar. For a faucet supply
it really sounds bizarre.

There are vague references to it as supply, but I've never been able to
confirm ever really was...although guess somebody could do anything
once, particularly if weren't subject to Code/inspection at the time or
a homeowner/DIYer did something on their own.

I've no idea what would use for pressure fittings, Fernco?

I do know that industrial use during wartime, was used for sal****er
disposal in oil production that was pressure, but that was far cry from
residential potable water.

Smallest I've seen mentioned was 2" and only applications I know of were
waste/drain, agreed.

Wonder if it really, truly is...altho guess it'd be hard to misdiagnose
if dug it up...pictures/more info would be nice.
