Robert Jones Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Home built in 1989. Water supplied from shared well. Copper branch lines. All fixtures have Qest valves/angle stops installed. No evidence of leaks now or previously. Due to the issues surrounding this particular brand, should the recommendation be replacement?

Marc Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 For liability reasons, yes, although not all of the issues with PB manifest in every installation. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Aren't the PB valves made up of the same acetal type material which is the main concern for failure in the fittings of PB distribution systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Chrome plated brass compression angle stops are less than $10 each. Why would you not recommend they replace them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
