What is Poly-B and do I have it in my house?

The first step in determining if you have Poly-B piping in your building is the date of construction. Poly-B was in common use from 1985 – 1997. You should be safe if your building was built more than 3 years before or after that time frame. You should also verify that there were no major plumbing jobs performed during the years in question.

Poly-B piping is a mildly flexible pipe that comes in grey, black and blue coloring. Installers used grey and black without concern for the color, but reserved blue for use with cold water lines. Stamping on the pipe can further identify Poly-B piping.

All polybutylene pipe has the letters “PB” stamped along with it and will have numbers following the letters. A common designation is “PB2110”, but any combination of numbers after “PB” indicates polybutylene pipe.

What is Poly-B and do I have it in my house?

THE PROBLEM
After 10 to 15 years in place, Poly-B piping will very likely fail. Evidence is in the short span of time between introduction and obsolescence.

A mere twelve years before the plumbing and construction industries abandoned a profitable and simple to use system.

Considering that it took the world over 100 years to ban asbestos, that speaks powerfully to the abject failure of the product.

What is Poly-B and do I have it in my house?

Poly-B stands for Polybutylene, a grey, flexible pipe used for construction plumbing between 1985 and 1997. Considered a cheap and more easily installed alternative to traditional copper pipe, Poly-B is in over 700,000 homes in BC alone. It worked great for the first 10 years. Then things started racing downhill.

The lack of installation standards was the first problem. The preferred method of metal fasteners wasn’t mandated, and cheaper fasteners became available. The amount of allowable bending stress wasn’t determined, so installers were free to use their own judgement. The end result was hundreds of thousands of homes with poorly installed and inadequately formed piping.

Poly-B pipe replacement wasn’t put under real world testing before approval. They tested it for strength vs water pressure up to 70psi, but was not tested for withstanding the chemicals used to treat our water. Had they run those tests, Poly-B would have never made it to market.

Have you tested your Water pressure in your house recently?

Most fixtures in your home are only rated for a maximum pressure of 80PSI. If the PRV fails you could be seeing pressures up to and exceeding 150psi in your home, This can also cause water hammer in the pipes (rattling/slamming in the walls), or even the other way and have no water pressure or flow at all.
