According to some RV folks, I might have polybutylene piping in my RV. I need to add some valves. What's the right way to split the line & insert a valve with this stuff? Barbed fittings & hose clam

Have you Googled polybutylene? This article seems typical, from a presumably reasonably unbiased source (University of AZ) : http://ag.arizona.edu/AZWATER/awr/nov94/leaks.html It says things like "S

Cut and use a special compression fitting. Many hardware stores have the proper fittings over in the PEX/PB section. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.

They can be. Depends on the maker of the fittings. Many more things interchange unofficially, if you're handy and are willing to accept the risk. Just as there's nothing wrong with a splice made fro

Wouldn't most RVs have zero water pressure most of the time, and fairly low pressure when they are actually being used? I would think that in a RV you could get away with plumbing techniques (e.g. ho
