[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1090654, member: 14713"] Forgot to mention if you live in areas with alkalai soil, tape that galvanized pipe on your new hydrant completely with black electrical tape, or use the special wide tape available specifically for the purpose. I've seen hydrants rusted out below ground in less than 10 yrs time without. Also, saw one that was taped but the tape got dinged during backfill operation. Had a 1/2" hole right where the tape was gone. IMO, any permanent water line is worth doing right. I'd use a garden hose before I wasted my money and labor burying a water line only 18". At least I could drain the garden hose or put it in the bathtub to thaw out. :P :P :P This thread reminds me of an oldie but goodie thread at NAT from 3 years ago. :lol2: :lol: :lol2: [url=http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=206647&DisplayType=nested&setCookie=1]http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread ... etCookie=1[/url] [/QUOTE]
