How deep should copper water pipe be in the ground?

If you live in an area where you have frost it should be below the record frost depth, usually in the North it is a minimum of four feet. If you are running copper in the ground out west you can go substantially higher in the ground due to the lack of frost. I would recommend that you look at the building codes for your particular area as the requirements for each state and region can differ. Bed the pipe with sand below and above, 4-6 inches is a usually required above and below depending on ground conditions and relevant region of the country. You also want to make sure you are using the right grade of copper pipe made for direct burial.
