Hello all,

I have been searching on the Internet to find out if I can use PVC to replace my resting steel main water line. So far nothing definitive came out.

I live in San Jose California, so cold weather is not much of a factor.

My main goal is to get something that does not rust.

Thanks,

I agree with Trader. They make a blue (PEX?) line just for that in
3/4" or 1". It is tough, flexible and seamless.Those are good
attributes for something you never want to see again.
PVC is popular here but the ground doesn't move around a lot. They
still use the PEX on new water services.

I found out that there are different grades of PEX. The way it seems PEX - a is the one that I need to use.

Uponor (formerly called Wirsbo) brand is getting good reviews. HD (Home Depot) seems to be carrying it, however, HD seems to be pushing a different brand. Some people said in their reviews that they did not like the different brand.
