What is Poly B™ (polybutylene) Piping?
Poly-B is also known as polybutylene pipe, and it refers to the grey plastic pipes used for plumbing systems in residential and commercial buildings. Poly-b pipes were the most commonly used material in commercial and residential construction from 1985 to 1997.
Poly-B pipes were found to have defects, and therefore, discontinued after a billion dollar class action lawsuit was won against the manufacturer. It was discovered that Poly-B pipes began to leak and burst or over time due to the susceptibility of the product to chlorine. More cases of this type of pipe failing are likely to happen as homes in Edmonton Alberta continue to get older.
