[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 861692, member: 8973"] Pex is UV sensitive. Around here 3/4 inch Pex is as large as I can get. If the water lines have any real length to them the 3/4 inch is too small if you are watering more than a few cattle. I use the Pex as I tee off the main lines as feeder tube to the waters as that is where my lines are more likely to freeze. I also like the manner that I can "bend" the Pex to reduce the number of joints going to the livestock waterer. A trick Iearned years ago is to get a length of small diameter soft poly tubing and after heat sealing the ends of the poly tubing to insert the sealed tubing to the inside of the feeder pipe to the waterer. The feeder line may freeze but the small soft poly pipe with the trapped air inside will collapse and absorb the expansion and in most instance avoid bursting the supply line. [/QUOTE]
