Episode description

There are a lot of myths that surround plastic pipes. For example, there are those that still perpetuate the idea that plastic pipe is noisy and easy to break due to the nature they are brittle.

Plumbing noise levels in residential bathrooms can only reach 45 decibels as per the ASHRAE Chapter 48 standard on noise and vibration control. To put this into a bit of perspective, a refrigerator usually marks in at around 40 decibels and a dishwasher at 60.

Mike Mercurio, senior technical sales representative for IPEX, joins me on the podcast to break those myths. He will also explore some of the latest plastic pipe technology innovations in today’s marketplace.
