Polybutylene

Polybutylene pipe may be gray, white, blue or black. White, or black pipe may not be polybutylene. The safest way to check for polybutylene is to have a professional plumber thoroughly check the system. Polybutylene pipe connectors can be copper, brass, or plastic. The connector types are barbed with a crimp ring or compression with a plastic or metal ferrule.

 

 

Will the Pipes Fail?

While scientific evidence is scarce, it is believed that oxidants in the public water supplies, such as chlorine, react with the polybutylene piping and accentual fittings causing them to scale and flake and become brittle. Micro-fractures result, and the basic structural integrity of the system is reduced.
