Is this true? Are they using the plastic push/pull valves in TV? If they are, is it across the board, low end to high end homes?

If this is the case I'm very disappointed. Coming from a long line of general contractors that would NEVER use these type valves. Failure is a matter of when, not if.

If I build there I guess I'm going to have to spend $1-2k to replace all the valves in the house. Do you have a choice of plumbing subs?
