[Shop-talk] pex piping question

thinking about this PEX stuff and ease of install... I have a 3/4" water line
in unattached garage...never been used... I'd like to extend this line to
another area of the yard (on other side of driveway and building..and install
a hydrant for watering seems like a quick ditching job and laying this stuff
in the hole would make quick work of it...

surely they make copper/pex adapters for the tie in... and pex/galv for the
hydrant end... with appropriate cut offs and drain valves... and maybe a
cutoff with a air coupling in the garage to blow it all down come winter...

is this stuff good for underground burial ??   would it work well and be
cheaper than pvc ??

thanks
John

and happy Memorial day to all
