1/2" poly burst pressure

Gophers or moles? I am probably mistaken, but thought that gophers dug primarily to build nests (dens, whatever). Moles, on the other hand, dig in pursuit of food, and chew through almost anything in their paths.

Around here, it's a problem (moles & underground wires, etc), so we bury everything at least 12" deep, and that solves it. Moles only work near the surface.

Hmm ... How far would 100+ PSI shoot a mole back its hole before it burst the hole through to the top of the ground? :-)

Enjoy, DoN.

I can see the headline "Mole visits space station" Gerry :-)} London, Canada

Yes.

Whatever. I meant "underground chewing critters of all types".

So, do you run the verticals in pipe?

Yep, but Sch-80 PVC seems to fare well.
