When I am inspecting a house I suspect has PB pipe that I can not see anywhere, I go to the laundry room and pull the beauty ring off the water supply to the washer. Then I look into the wall to ID the pipes.

Brian,
That's a real good tip!!! Don't know how many times I've cleaned my beauty ring (they do get gunky) and never thought to pull it off. Good idea and by the way, I just pulled mine off for grins and cleaned behind it.  
Just out of curiosity though, why did you suspect PB in the house?

Emmanuel, many neighborhoods in the Phoenix Metro area were piped with PB pipe between 1978 & 1995. If inspecting a house this age I would be suspicious. Also I have done this in newer homes looking for PEX.
