What exactly are you trying to do with it?

In my crawl space I have 1 1/2" or maybe 1 1/4" pvc running to the sprinkler system in the garage. This line is fed by the service meter and doesn't go through my regulator so the pressure is whatever is provided by the water company. The pressure is above 60 maybe up to 80 or a bit more. It's a long story.... I disconnected this line because I found a rusting fitting near the stand pipe and there is now a strange offset and I was thinking of putting in a piece of flex pvc instead of trying to glue up a bunch of fittings.
I'm now thinking I should try a length of Pex instead. I know how to deal with Pex - I installed Pex a number of years ago to replace all the galvanized pipe.
