Do you know about Poly-B piping?
Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping was popular in the construction of plumbing systems in homes between 1985 and 1997 due to its flexibility and cost-effectiveness in contrast to copper piping. Unfortunately, over time, Poly B pipes became prone to leaks and failures, leading to potential property damage and costly repairs.
In 1997, according to this Poly B educational site, the National Plumbing Code, which oversaw all plumbing trades in Canada, refused to recognize Poly-B and banned its use for constructing any building requiring piping systems.
