    My mains water comes in down the side of my house,underneath the garden patio and then up into the kitchen.


    How does mains water get connected through a wall into a house??


    Does the builder/plumber bring the black hydrodare pipe in underground through the wall into the kitchen and then mate it to the copper piping??

    Or does the copper piping come out through the kitchen wall to meet up with the Hydrodare outside??


    Curious to know how its done.


    Thanks.:)

    Can I ask you what diameter the hydrodare and copper pipe would for the mains water in a domestic house?

    Thanks.:)

    Usually 1/2" heavy gauge pipe is used but 3/4" may also be used.

    How deep down below ground would the hydrodare actually come into the house through the wall?

    Am I right to think that the hydrodare would come up from underground through the wall and into the kitchen at an angle??


    Thanks.:)

    The hydrodare should be 1/2heavy gauge and it should be at a dept of at least 18ins below ground level in an ideal world but not many would be at this dept.The pipe runs from the meter position on the road to the kitchen sink there is no real set route for this
