What 1982 tells you about the pipe in Hawi
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
