Some insurers ask homeowners to replace Poly B, the grey polybutylene pipe, with PEX. RP Plumbing publishes a full replacement for that job.
- What it isPoly B is the grey plastic supply pipe in a lot of homes built from the late 1970s through the 1990s. It is the supply, not the drain.
- Why people callAn insurer asked for it, a fitting started weeping, or the house is being renovated and the walls are already open.
- What they doA full replacement with PEX, so the requirement is met and the supply is one system again.
