[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1648084, member: 9096"] buy once, cry once.. 3/4 is really small on such a long line, I'd go with the 1" Around here our entire mainline is 2" and most branch lines are 1 1/2".. we used the white PVC glue together, but you have to bed it in sand really carefully, a rock on it and it'll crack, PVC is far more forgiving Our entire line is also buried 6 ft, and while we could get away with a depth of 3-4 ft and not freeze, the water actually warms just a little bit at that depth, since we are a gravity system and don't have to worry about pump costs, all our waterers just flow 5-10gpm all winter and they never freeze up.. only danger for us is if our intake slushes over and stops the flow, then they standpipes could freeze [/QUOTE]
