Brian G Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I ran across some supply line today I haven't seen before. I think it's PEX, but I've only seen PEX in magazines. Written on it: QEST C-PB2110 / ASTM D3309 / B137-8 / Potable Tubing Some ends were fastened with a metal ring, some had fittings. Can anyone confirm what this is for me? Brian G.

Jim Morrison Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Brian, PEX says "PEX" on it. Could it have been polybutylene? I've only seen that once before, but it sounds like what you describe. Anyone from PB country out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Beaumont Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi Brian, Are you sure what you were looking at was PEX, as QEST was one on the infamous PolyButylene brands ?? Do you have any pics ?? Funny 2 others were answering at the same time, here's a hint if it was grey and leaking it's PB, if it's grey and about to leak it's still PB.

hausdok Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi, It's polybutylene pipe. No if ands or buts about it. Zurn, owner of the Qest brand, does make QestPex pipe, but the PB2110 identifies it as polybutylene. Now that that is cleared up. Get the information you need from pbpipe.com. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
