Ask at a home store. They can likely guide you. Or go to your county permits office and ask them for the allowable standards for potable water. That is a question for the pros in permitted and forbidden usage.

I PMed Melev & this is his response:
The advice given is correct. ABS is for waste line. It can be used for other stuff as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitr ... ne_styrene

I'm using black PVC and black PVC fittings.

you can get black flex tubing for water at your hardware store. It comes in a large coil so you'd have to soak the portion you want in hot water to straighten it out. It is 1/2". Perfect for a spray bar and cheap.
