| Plastic Plumbing
I watched a show on HGTV tonight called House Detectives its about home inspectors doing inspections, the inspector was inspecting a town-house that was built in the 70s-80s and it had the same gray plastic plumbing with the copper collars as many AS's including mine, and he said it was popular stuff during that time because it was low cost plumbing but it deteriorates with age and fails internally from the inside out. He suggested they replace all the plastic pipe because of the age and the unknown when it would fail. He mentioned the name of it but I didnt catch it does anyone know the name of it?. It makes me wonder if I need to consider replacing the plumbing in my 19 year old trailer???. Does anyone know more about this stuff?
