Default How to replace water pipe

As a follow up to my previous question - suppose I decide to replace
the pipe. What kind of pipe and fittings would I use. Is there a
standard for this type of work?

I've laid sprinkler pipes before with PVC, but I'm not sure I want PVC
for my main water feed from the meter to the house. Is it OK to use
PVC for this, or should I stick to metal pipe? And if so, what kind of
metal pipe is commonly used?


the line from the meter to the house may HAVE to be copper by local
code. Better check with them. The branches to your hydrants can be pvc.
