Use 25mm blue pipe and then go from mdpe or blue pipe to copper, make sure its buried sufficiently to avoid freezing, about 600mm or insulation can be used

Ashley · Answer

You can use either. Depending on how far it is away from your supply. And you would wonna go in 22mm or 25 mdpe. If using copper outside make sure you insulate the copper other wise could freeze

Mdpe underground is a must you should find out if you have high sulphur content in the soil wher the property is located as this could determine the material of the pipe you need ie anti sulphur attack pipe this is usually a blue mdpe with a red stripe  and 25mm is a good idea

Hi Sijan, yes you can you could use either plastic or copper. If the run is running internally ie if your garage is jointed to your house & your running it from your kitchen sink I’d use 15mm. It would be advisable to lag the pipework in the garage also to help preventing freezing pipes. For ease it would be advisable to run the pipework where it’s visible only if it’s running internally so from your kitchen through a wall say straight to your garage, that’s what I’m assuming is the case.

If not & your garage is away from the property ignore all the above 🙈

I suggest  exterior  blue  pipe any colour   I prefer plastic  and 25 mm because  have more pressure  then 22 mm if you wanted to reduce the pressure  is easy  but to increase the  pressure  you have to charge  hollthing..

I would recommend poly pipe its tough and wont corrode

David · Answer

Yes use mdpe .
It's the water regulations .
Building regulations.
Be aware of energy efficiency.
Google an illustration .
Rule of thumb is 2 foot six below ground .
Use sleeves where pipe goes into buildings .
Also you will break the dpm. Damp proof membrane .not recommended.

Hi sijan yep this can be done I would use 20mm M.D.P.E pipe under ground and copper under sink and above ground in garage this needs to be approx 600mm below ground for frost protection I would also fit an isolation valve under sink in house giving extra control to garage
