Well help.

So I got a new well drilled at the house and still have a driven well (1-1/4") that is still a good strong well - Its about 20 feet from my shop so was gonna run a line over to it. right now it has 1-1/4" galv pipe about 2 feet under ground to the house - rather than running that - is there any easier pipe to hook up to the well to run to my shop - pex?

I'd run black plastic, can get in 1.25 in no problem, easy to run and cheap

is there an easy way to go from the 1.25 gav to it? like a barred ******? that air tight enough?

 

[Torque1st]

Use an appropriate size hose ****** and 2 each hose clamps. The plastic pipe, hose ******, and hose clamps are all available at the local home box store or any good hardware or farm store.

Yep. Black plastic. Made for wells and is the norm around here.

I see they have differnt ratings... 100psi good enough? its a 1/2hp jet pump 9gpm.

They make that barbed ****** in plastic or different grades of brass. I'd go with brass myself.

100 psi is ok
