Nailing PEX into the ground outside is a simple and effective way to secure PEX tubing for underground water lines. PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible plastic tubing that has become increasingly popular for plumbing applications due to its durability and ease of installation. It is commonly used for water supply lines, both inside and outside the home.
To nail PEX into the ground outside, you will need a few simple tools and materials, including PEX tubing, nails, a hammer, and a trenching shovel. The first step is to dig a trench that is deep enough to bury the PEX tubing below the frost line. The frost line is the depth to which the ground freezes in your area, and it is important to bury the PEX tubing below this depth to prevent it from freezing and bursting.
