Move an external tap from lead to new location. What to use

[HERTS P&D]

Aden you sure it’s copper? Looks like steel.

I see what you are saying Chris but you can tell from the coupler that it is copper.

Actually mate, it was the coupler that caught my eye, when I zoom in, looks like there’s a thread on it, but probably just the photo.

That joint is a lip joint and not loaded for strength. You can connect to the copper easily enough but don’t exert a lot of pressure on the wiped joint.

Never heard it called that mate. Must be regional! Where you from?

I'd use MDPE, it's the correct stuff, and you should be able to get a Coupling to take you from lead to MDPE without issue.
