PB Piping or other?

because it says so on the side on the supply line Tom

Whatever the pipe is, it is not the PB which had such a high failure rate. And as mentioned, not all PB failed.

In my report I mention PB has a higher failure rate and recommend a plumber evaluate for a risk assessment.

Does “IP” correlate to PB? I searched and could not find it.

And as simple as this.

I couldn’t find anything on that either.

recommend replace with braided lines

why replace?

What? It’s still PB. Polybutylene Plumbing - What is Polybutylene?

To be honest i haven’t had one of those supply lines in my hands for years, even when i was working it was not something I would reach for unless it was the last thing available. You have to wonder though why would someone put supply lines behind a tub/shower valve ?

The black mechanical DWV vent is not atmospheric type or a Studor valve.
Risers PVC.
The tub overflow port has been abandoned.

Not the typical markings found on standard PB…
