IDK the proper forum to ask this, but I'm replacing the underground water line to my house, with local-code-compliant 1" PEX, and I'm thinking of running it in 2" sch 40 PVC, like conduit, so whenever it fails, there's less digging and gnashing of teeth required.
Do people do this, or will it make the #plumbing inspector go WTF?
Pipe is about 18" deep or less. It does feeeze here, but not often and usually not for long.
No comments on the PEX please, just the conduit idea.
