Hello all I have some PEX lines (house water pressure) buried in PVC
conduit which distribute to some irrigation points. I'd like to bring
one of the PEX lines to a surface and add a hose bib. Problem is, the
best surface is an incredibly thick garden wall and the usual hose bib
installation method (line - 1/2" connection -- through the wall)
would be a real pain. In addition you aren't supposed to leave PEX
exposed.

I'm thinking about running the PEX in a PVC conduit up the side of the
wall and into a small heavy PVC box, surface mounted, then attaching
the hose bib through the side of the box.

Is there a better solution? I've thought of a "yard hydrant" but I
don't want someone impaling themself on it.

I don't see any self-contained boxes with hose bibs, except expensive
marine-grade for piers.

Thanks for any ideas.

You could transition the pex to copper and then up the wall with a
hose bib mounted..eliminate the pvc (up the wall) and box.
