Polybutylene (PB) should never be used for supply piping in homes. This plastic piping was commonly used in the 1970s to 1990s but has been found to deteriorate over time, leading to leaks and water damage. Many insurance companies will not cover damage caused by PB pipes, making them a risky choice for home Plumbing. Instead, materials like copper, PEX, or PVC are recommended for their durability and reliability.
