Traditional Farmer · Apr 23, 2023

Looking at piping water from a spring gravity flow,need about 3/4 inch pipe.See this Vevor 3/4 inch flex tubing or pipe.Anyone used it? Priced pretty cheap is it any good?

I don't think he's talking about buying enough to reach from there.

I dont know if youre familiar with PEX piping. The industry has moved this way for UG piping of domestic and heating as well as above ground application. The last two projects Ive been on has had PEX for both heat and domestic piping. The one instance is a recycling facility with several thousand feet for heat. The Vevor name appears to be a manufacturer of such a product. The project I described specified Rehau which appears to be 3x the price of Vevor. The application is proven, but I wonder if the long used Poly water line wouldnt do what you need at a more reasonable price.

Vevor is just a brand name for one maker of PEX. Don't have first hand knowledge of it, but PEX is a good product generally. I've use it in a few jobs and it works well. Easy to cut and install. Just don't leave it exposed to sunlight as the UV rays break it down.

Can not speak to the price. PEX is easy to work with and does not crack or break, as easily, when the water it contains freezes. It should not be used where it is exposed to UV, as it will degrade.
We plumbed our house with PEX, did it ourself, for less the 1/5 the cost a plumber wanted for PVC. 10 years now, zero problems.

In 1963 I ran 100 PSI 3/4" black poly pipe about 400 ft. from a spring to my house. Buried it 4 to 5 feet deep and took care to make sure there was rock free soil near the pipe.
Still working after all these years. Nowadays, poly pope can be had at much higher PSI ratings so I would expect it to be even more durable. Poly pipe is low priced so I don't see any reason to use a more expensive alternative.

Couldn't help but add my 2 cents on Pex.. Twice had house flooded due to mice/rats chewing holes in Pex. Be aware.

I think "Traditional" is speaking of underground water line.

No the line will be run on top of the ground from a spring up on my mountain down to a road/trail probably 300 ft or so.Then I can park a water tank in the road and let it fill up.Worse problem I have are bears biting thru the pipe,so I'm looking for something cheap and easy to repair.really its for a couple friends for water for their gardens as I have water from another spring piped to my garden.

I would recommend trenching it underground, even if just a foot with a middle buster. Protection from bears, sun, trip hazard, etc. with not a lot of effort. PEX is great stuff generally, but the old poly pipe will work as well. Both are poly, just PEX is a cros-linked structure poly and stronger.

Lady friends modular has that in .Ned some repairs to sinks. Have to hire a
plumer to do as those special fittings and tools to install I am not going
to by to do a job I could have done if normal type of pipe

Traditional Farmer · Apr 23, 2023

I'd like to but no way because of stationary rock on the surface and the terrain is very steep.The 300 ft I'm running the pipe is probably 75 to 100ft in elevation

I agree, My son ran about 1,500 feet of 1/2" black poly on top of the ground from a prolific spring at the top of the hill to his main spring. The upper spring was so good that he could allow the pope to run full bore so it wouldn't freeze. One problem, once a chipmunk or mouse chewed a small hole, the "buzzing" sound would attract bears and they would tear the line all apart.

I dont know much about the pipe but ill be happy to help with the bear population!

If it is further than 50 ft. use one inch.

Traditional Farmer · Apr 24, 2023

Don't see them too often pretty shy around the farm but apparently they spend most of their time in the subdivisions tearing up bird feeders and garbage cans.You can give it a try.

A coil of 1 inch x 300ft black polyethylene is $164 at HD.

I would look for the 20ft schedule 20 bell end white pvc pipe.

The coiled stuff will be unruly.

The 20ft pvc will lay flat and straight.

I would just shove them together dry to see if that was good enough as far as leaking. Then if the critters damage a spot you can replace and store it away in the winter if desired.

I love pex but if you are going to expose it to sunlight use something else.
