What is a 'service connection' in pipeline projects?

• A. A branch off to irrigation only
• B. A small pipeline that connects a main line to a building or property service.
• C. A line used for air vents
• D. A video line for metering

Answer: (B)

A service connection is the small-diameter pipe that ties the main line to the building or property’s service line. It’s the delivery path from the larger main to the customer’s side, and it typically includes a shutoff at the property boundary and can lead to a meter or other service equipment. This is the defining feature: a direct, customer-focused link from the main to the building/service.

That’s why the correct description fits: it’s a small pipeline connecting a main line to a building or property service. The other options describe things that aren’t the service connection—an irrigation-only branch, a line for air vents, or a line for metering video—so they don’t capture the essence of the service connection.
