It very clearly Poly B. And appears to be a manifold system.

because of red/blue stripes?

The lack of angle stops.
Most straight run Poly is routed back to the central manifoldpoly manifold .

Great eyes…

Got sure Larry ! That’s why these guys are the best. Thanks everyone

So What’s with all the paint? To make it look pretty under a cabinet that no one cares about? Or to hide the PB2110 markings? Hmmmm.

It’s Poly, just not the Poly you are thinking. It is Cross-Linked Polyethylene
