| Tim, If your in California it probably does not have to be very deep. Is this an irrigation pipe which would be drained? or is this a continuous pressure supply pipe for something? It only needs to be below frost depth I would guess 12"-18" but you should always check with your AHJ local Authority Having Jurisdiction, the Plumbing inspector or building inspector. Hope that helps, Dan |

| "I want to run a water line up close to the house. How deep is the run supposed to be?" Depending on your location anything from a few inches in southern Florida to many feet in Minnesota. |

| Per code the line must be a minimum of 12" or 6" below your average frost line, whichever is greater. |

| Sorry about that. I didn't think about frost line living in San Diego. I will bury it 12 inches deep. I should be good with that. Thank you for your responses. |
