2nd leak in 3 weeks. Water pressure is at 60psi, so it's not like I'm blasting it. Capping it tonight and figuring out what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I can't in good conscience leave it at polybutylene.
At the one hose company we sold a rubber lined hose similar to your toilet or faucet connecters and a contractor buried them behind drywall. One blew out ruining three new condos. I had to go and I got grilled by a team of insurance investigators and lawyers.
"Do you have installation instructions" No, a journeyman pipe fitter knows how tight to tighten brass pipe thread.
Me; "We recommend you don't bury rubber hoses behind walls".
In reply to lnlogauge :
A few weeks ago I got up from my morning reading session, flushed the toilet, turned on the shower and nothing. WTF. Went outside and found what I hope to be the last section of polybutene that the PO had hidden. Lucky for me it was outside. Just a simple 2 foot section he had buried under ground. I shook my head looking at two shark bites as I replaced it with glued in cpvc.
