Hello,
I am looking to use a water line that is located outside my barn. I was hoping to get some advice on how to best approach it.
This is the current line available. It is about 2ft away from the barn
I am looking to do the following:
- Leave a spigot available where the current line is
- Run a water line to a finished room within the barn
- Put another outdoor spigot on the opposite side of the barn
Thus far I have been thinking:
- Run 3/4" PEX up the side of the barn into the attic and attach an elbow
- Run 3/4" PEX from the elbow to a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" barb tee (for water line going in finished room)
- Run 3/4" PEX from barb tee to elbow
- Run 3/4" PEX from elbow down other side of barn for new spigot
I will put the PEX into sleeves and box in the line on the outside of the barn for insulation and protection from sunlight.
What I am not sure about is the connection to the current spigot (pictured). Any advice on how to accomplish the connection to PEX?
Thanks! -Mike
