I've just discovered that the 1992 reno in our house used Polybutylene piping (with copper fittings). No leaks (yet).
The polybutylene is all daisy-chained together in one long run. Basement -> kitchen -> 2nd floor bathroom. The rest of the pipe in the house is copper.
I plan on replacing the PB with copper, but would like to keep the kitchen water working while I repipe the 2nd floor bathroom.
Is there a way to temporarily cap off the polybutylene pipes just *after* the kitchen?
I haven't seen any pb fittings locally (I'm in BC, Canada) so not sure what I could use for this.
Appreciate the help,
