Default Grey Pipes

Grey pipe was used in the 80's in many homes. The pipe carries the hot and cold water. The pipe is OK but the fittings (elbows, "T" & couplers) will break where the pipe make the connection. It appears to be mostly in the manufactured homes in TV. If you have these fittings they can be replaced with "sharkbite fittings" ( Home Depot). I talk to tech support at the manufacture. They will not guarantee the connection but have many reports of plumbers using them with success. I have used them about a dozen times in tight sitution and behind walls.
