I have hears people make referances to the best pipe. I choose my pipe based on internal smoothness, outer diameter tolerance, and color. I perfer JM manufaucturingpipe.


I would like to know what pipe you like best and why.

I'd say PW Eagle, because I've never had problems with it. I've had 3/4" JM Manufacturing pipe fragment at only 140 psi, when it was rated to 480.

The way I see it is that with a caliper there are large tolerance differences between the pipe.

I try to stay away from unknown brands (They are often old and yellowing) Iplex and mains water pipe is good. So is plasson, dura, philmac and terrain. But thats just aussie stuff.

Charlotte, because their Tru-Fit system makes certain occasions with pipe not fittings into sockets non-existent.
