DEAR SIR.
QUEST PIPE IS A HIGH QUALITY INNERT PIPE.THAT MEANS THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF THE MATERIAL IS NOT EASELY BROKEN DOWN FURTHER IN PROCESSING.THE PIPE IS ALSO KNOWN AS POLY-BUTELENE, OUTLAWED IN SOME STATES AND WIDELY USED IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES AND LATE NINETIES.I BELIEVE DUPONT IS OR WAS ONE OF THE MANUFACTURERS THE WAS TIED UP IN SOME MAJOR CLASSACTION LAWSUITS. BUT DONT THREAT.QUEST IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND CAN GIVE YOU A LIFE TIME OF OF WATER SUPPLY IF IT WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY.YOU SEE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS STUFF WAS IN THE WAY THE JOINTS WERE MADE.YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF BY LOOKING AT THE CRIMP RINGS ON THE DIFFERENT SUPPLY BRANCHES. WHEN THESE RINGS WERE CRIMPED,THE TOOL USED,HAD TO HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE JOINT PERFECTLY SQUARE, AND THE TOOL ITSELT, NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED ONCE EVERY EIGHT HOURS.THE AMOUNT OF CRIMP FORCE IS VITAL TO THE INSTALLATION. TO MUCH, AND THE PIPE IS CRUSHED, NOT ENOUGH AND THE JOINT IS SUBJECT TO SEPARATION.I MYSELF HAVE PIPED HOMES WITH POLY-BUTE, HECK MY HOUSE WAS DONR IN P0LY-BUTE. ACTUALLY IT IS NOW MY SHOP. THIS STUFF IS STRAPPED ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE SUBJECT TO ALL THE ELEMENTS, AND HAS NEVER FAILED. MY HOUSE ISN’T AS YOUNG AS YOURS, BECAUSE THE FITTINGS ON MY LINES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. YEAH, PLASTIC.IF YOU HAVE HAD A FLOOD OR WATER DAMAGE, FROM SEPARATION OFTHE JOINTS, IT WOULD BE WISE TO REPIPE YOUR HOME WITH COPPER TUBE.
IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH POLY-BUTE, THEN LIVE AND LET LIVE BROTHER,80 TO 90 PERCENT OF THE INSTALLATIONS WITH POLYBUTELENE ARE ASSEMBALED CORRECTLY.
