The best pipe to use for an outdoor water line is typically PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe. PVC is durable, resistant to corrosion, and relatively easy to install. It is also cost-effective and can withstand outdoor elements well.

To cap off a PVC water line effectively, you can use a PVC cap that fits securely over the end of the pipe. Simply apply PVC primer and cement to the end of the pipe and inside the cap, then firmly press the cap onto the pipe and hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a tight seal.

PVC pipes can only take a certain tempreature and in most cases cannot withstand tempreatures above 60 degrees celcius. if a thermostat fails in a geyser and the hot water over boils and you run water through your PVC pipes, they can melt causing severe damage. the best pipes to use are copper and galvanised depending where you live.
A standard water line PVC pipe typically has a width (diameter) of either 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, or 1.5 inches.

To change a corroded steel drain line to PVC, first, turn off the water supply and drain the line. Using a pipe cutter or reciprocating saw, carefully cut out the corroded steel sections, ensuring to leave enough length for the new fittings. Clean the ends of the steel pipe and use a transition fitting to connect it to the PVC pipe, then secure the PVC with solvent cement or mechanical fittings as appropriate. Finally, test the new installation for leaks before restoring the water supply.
