I bought a roll of 25mm MDPE blue pipe from my local merchants, dug up the
front garden and drilled a big hole through the front of the house to get
the pipe through to the sub-floor space. Be sure to sleeve the 25 mm in
28mm or 32mm plastic waste where it passes through the brick.

As it happens I need to do this myself soon; and have been scratching
my head over the specs diagram I've just received from the water co.
It shows the MDPE pipe coming through the wall, minimum 750mm below
ground, sheathed in another pipe as you describe. However, it
stipulates that the min radius of the sheathed pipe is 750 mm! ie, as
drawn, it must come up through the kitchen floor at least 750mm from
the outside wall! This bears no resemblance to any installation I've
ever seen, and makes no sense to me at all. Can anyone shed some
light on this???
