 What size plumbing?
Author: bassadict69 (LA)

I am wanting to run hot and cold water lines from my house to my dock to feed a water hose and my fish cleaning table...what size lines should I run? It will be about a 100ft run...

i did a similar job and used 3/4 fostapex. it comes in 150 foot rolls. the aluminum coating will protect it from UV rays.
when you un-roll it, it stays in place rather than trying to snap back.
secure it with tube talons. change the nails in them to stainless and you have a long, long lasting job.

Is Fostapex P-A-P or different layered construction?

An important consideration is the water pressure you start with prior to making any change. Until you know that, you will not be able to properly size your water to the fish cleaning table economically.
