Also not really "plastic" but percieved as such by many.

Google "pex", you'll be amazed at the info there.
Also, take a look at "pex manifolds".

These represent the modern day plumbing solutions.

They work great, by the way.

I am very familiar with “pex” plumbing……

However, they ARE NOT used anywhere in The Villages which is the topic of our discussion ……

The “pex” plumbing method, although a much better product, would be way too expensive for them to use !!

And , BTW, it is not the “latest and greatest”……. It has been around for MANY, MANY years !!
