DIY lawn irrigation system feedback needed

9 years ago

Hi,
I would like to install an sprinkler system and had a few questions before I tackle this project on my own.
These are my numbers:
Water pressure: 60-69psi
Service line: 3/4" copper
Water flow: 4.8 GPM
Here is the lawn specs and the piping inside my house going to the location where I want to install the sprinkler valves:

Sorry, don't have the info you need.

But I've seen several tutorials for irrigation installation online.

I prefer using Sch 40 PVC. SCH 40 would be adequate for your pressure which is a little high for house pressure and garden hose work but good pressure for sprinkler systems. It is easier for repairs and has significant less material cost. Especially if you just want a faucet location. JMHO Aloha
