: Most of the problems with it are after many years. Mobile homes are covered for 10 years after manufacture. Whether it has PB or not is easy to check. Open the water heater compartment and see if the pipes to it are gray. The same thing could apply to the larger water pipes under the kitchen sink, not necessarily the small ones to the faucet. : : Hey............. : : We just put a bid on a mobile home that might have polybutaline plumbing. The agent seemed a bit concerned but said if there's no leaks in the first couple years, then there's nothing to worry about. Do you know anything about this stuff at all?
