PVC, CPVC, polybutelyne...what is it?
Can someone help me identify this supply piping?? I could not read the specs. It is on a manufactured Home in Northern California built in 1982.
Thanks, Ron

The tanish plastic pipe looks like either PVC or CPVC.

Ron,
The solvent primers and cements colors can also help identify when used properly.

Re: PVC, CPVC, polybutelyne...what is it?
Definately CPVC. The slightly yellow color, the yellor (or orange) glue, and the brass angle stops indicate that. I don't *think* they make shutoffs like that for PVC piping. But then, just because I"ve never seen it doesn't mean it's not made.
One thing though, I can understand getting PVC and CPVC crossed, especially if they're very dirty, but pb pipe?
