An update on my system...

All the houses in my neighboorhood, which is a new subdivision, have Poly run from the street to the foundation and then through the wall in copper and the whole house is copper. Isn't that odd?

I am having a hard time finding an adapter to go from my poly to PVC. My poly says it is SDR-9 200PSI 1" Service Line. I can't find any adapters at the local Lowes. All their adapters fits 160 PSI pipe.

Any ideas?

simply buy a 1" Female addapter for the poly, and a 1" PVC male adapter and screw them together....that will convert...be sure to use 2 clamps becuase its under pressure, and put teflon on the threads

I tried that but my poly pipe is not the same diameter as 160 PSI pipe. It is smaller on the inside.

BTW, I just got off the phone with my local irrigation supply guy and he said they have what I need. It's a compression fitting for 200 PSI poly with pipe threads on the outlet end.

He's going to sell it to me. He said it is pretty easy to hook up. I am excited, I should be trenching this week!

Just to confirm- Many of the homes I'b ve been quoting on and have been built in the past 15 years do have a 1" Poly coming into the home as a main connected to the meter. It is NSF branded
