A:  As far as the burial depth that is dependant on your climate. San Diego has no freezing while Flagstaff AZ has a frost depth of 36 inches. You need to find that number from your building angency. If there is any chance of freezing I would recommend using PEX A with expansion insert fittings since that combination will not be damaged even if it freezes.

A:  I use this indoor for reclaimed water use running to toilets and washing machine. I don't know if it's rated for outdoor burial use -- good question -- but how deep you'd busy it would depend on the local environment. You want to be below the frost line, which varies by region. Check local codes.

A:  The freeze line varies upon geographic location. You can contact your local building inspector for more information. White PEX would be my suggestion
