Hi folks!
I am in the planning phase of moving and adding some hose bibs. To do this, I would like to plumb into a coldwater line in the crawl space, then feed them water outside via holes drilled in the foundation. First question, am I better with PVC or CPVC? I live in the Pacific NW, so we are usually in the 40s all winter, with occasional plunges below freezing, but rarely below the 20s, and rarely for more than a week. I will also need to bury underground in the yard.
Second question. Below is a picture from my crawl space, sorry its a little grainy. I am laying on my back, but that is a copper pipe coming down through the floor boards. It is near my existing hose bib, and probably goes to the shower/toilet/sink in the bathroom. What is the purpose of this pipe? It comes down, then is capped off. Does it serve a specific purpose, or can I cut it and tap into it for my new hose bibs?
Thanks for the help!
