All About Pipe
Vinyl Tubing
Supply tubing has gone through a metamorphosis from copper to corrugated copper to polybutylene and vinyl supply tube.
Vinyl supply tubing is easy to hook up, and with its flexible "give" will alleviate a mild water-hammer condition created by many single-lever faucets with quick shutoff.
Stainless-steel braided flexible supply connectors are another form of supply tubing. Stainless-steel braiding encases a nontoxic synthetic polymer or neoprene rubber core suitable for both hot and cold water.
Manufacturer claims include high- burst pressure ratings (1,500 psi to more than 2,400 psi), resistance to embrittling, and crimping on fittings that won’t creep or blow off. No cutting or flaring is involved which eliminates pipe bending, soldering and special tools.
