1 inch PVC piping at a depth below the frost line to where you live so pipe will not freeze in winter
Another opinion
I find it totally amazing how someone arbitrarily can pick a size of pipe out of the thin air. This person is totally awesome as most legitimate plumbers would ask how many fixtures you have (to calculate fixture unit demand) what type of fixtures and of course the Ph factor of water supply.
Many people refrain from using plastic especially PVC because it is highly carcinogenic and some codes out right ban its use for domestic water supply.
I wonder how one figures the friction loss and head and pressure requirements that they can put 1" PVC and not even give a schedule such as 40 or 80
What else can I help you with?

Which type of pipe is better use for house service?
Copper used to be the main stay of house water supply pipes, however today with some homes being hooked up to private wells or the city water supply, it may be time for you to look into Plex-tubing. It is a plastic type of pipe that is ideal for older homes that are in need of a retro fit cause you can bend it very easily without the worry of a kink or crack in the line. Also some wells have high acidity and the Plex will resist corrosion. Hope this helps you.
How do you hook up the hot and cold water lines to the new kitchen faucet you are installing the old fittings are not the same as the instructions show?
As far as I know, all kitchen faucets have the same size fitting on them. Should be a 5/8 compression. The supply maybe 3/8, 1/2 or 5/8 depending on the type of pipe in the house. You may need to get new hoses from the house pipe to the faucet. Without more information, there is no way to tell what you need.
