I need to replace my water line. It has had multiple leaks, and right now I has a nice 1/8" gaping crack going 1/3 of the way through. The only thing keeping the water in is a piece of rubber tightened around it with some hose clamps.
It is 1" HDPE (I believe, haven't actually measured), and I plan to replace with the same. However on the water meter, there is this strange fitting. It just looks like a big rusty blob. Anyone know what it is, and what I should replace it with?
One thing to note. I do want to change the direction of the pipe 90 degrees, because right now it goes under a very large tree, and I will need to make it snake around the tree. Is there a good fitting I can use to attach directly to the water meter, replacing that rust ball fitting, which will be a 90 degree fitting, and join to an HDPE pipe?
