Hello all,
I'm planning on tapping into my home water line that is supplied by a drilled well so I can run water to my barn. The barn is 350' from the house. I live in the North East so I'm digging at trench at least 4' down to bury the line. I've got a backhoe so that part of the job is pretty straightforward. I'll be installing a frost free hydrant at the barn and putting in a gravel dry well for that to drain into.
My question has to do with punching through my fieldstone foundation to get the line into my basement. I'll rent a power tool to make the hole. It will probably be a rotary drill of some sort. But once I've got the hole and put the line through it, what do I do to seal the pipe? Does it need to be sleeved? Insulated? Protected? The line is 1 1/4" ABS. Can I simply use hydrolic cement?
