Written by Anne Reagan. May 13, 2014. Polybutylene piping is a form of plastic resin and was commonly used for plumbing U.S. homes built between 1978 and 1995. Due to its inexpensive production cost and ability to withstand high water pressure, it was widely seen as a better, cheaper alternative to copper plumbing.
That was indeed, over 5000 years ago. âIn old construction, lead plumbing was common. It was generally eclipsed toward the end of the 1800s by galvanized iron water pipes which were attached with threaded pipe fittings.Higher durability, and cost, systems were made with brass pipe and fittings. Copper with soldered fittings became popular around 1950, though it had been used as early as 1900.Plastic supply pipes have become increasingly common since about 1970, with a variety of materials and fittings employed, however plastic water pipes do not keep water as clean as copper and brass piping does.hey used both for a while. But around that time was when we were buying large amounts of pipe from Japan. A lot of that pipe was made from recycled metal and it wasnât until later they found it was of poor quality and was rusting and corroding faster than pipe made here. So many homes were being re-plumbed with copper.
