Any temperature sub-zero is cold enough, but it also depends on how
long it it below zero.


However MDPE (black or blue) seems to be quite OK when frozen, we have
quite a bit of exposed MDPE pipe outside and it has been frozen and
thawed quite a few times over the years with no apparent ill effects.
(It feeds a couple of horse waterers so temporary blockage doesn't
matter)
