ASTM D 3309 REV A Standard Specification for Polybutylene (PB) Plastic Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems

If you like Polybutylene it is fine Gary.

Default Re: Question

There was an ad in the local paper recently by some lawyer or firm telling homeowners to contact them if they have PB pipe in their homes. I always point out the presence of the stuff and recommend evaluation/consultation with a qualified plumber.

See http://www.polybutylene.com/

An interesting quote from the above link: "FACT: A copper repipe is about the same cost as a recarpet."
