Is this polybutelene?!

Thoughts on this one? I couldn’t find any section of the pipe where the mfg logo was clear enough to say it was or wasn’t for certain… it looked like PB, except for the fittings, and there was no marking with the “PB” indicator… thoughts?

Thanks for the help!

Looks like poly to me, with push-fit fittings.

I can’t read the ASTM number in the photos, maybe your pics are less blurry, but you can look it up to confirm.

If it looks like a duck and waddles like a duct chances are its a duck.
ASTM - D3309

PB potable supply plumbing pipes.
Recommend a licensed plumbing contractor evaluate and replace PB piping.

I see those fittings on PB many times.

I never see poly with those fittings. The labeling is blurry which I often see. The gray color is a huge clue. I’d write it up, “Supply plumbing appears to be polybutylene which has known problems and failures, and should be evaluated by a qualified plumber” or words to that effect.
