The only white pipe that I have really run across is PVC.

Just PEX, nothing special.

The color doesn't much matter. When PEX began making appearances in my area, I looked at a house that was plumbed with nothing but blue pipes. I thought a mistake had been made--that red PEX had a higher temperature rating than blue. But when I called a plumber friend, he told me that all PEX piping had the same PSI and temperature ratings, regardless of color.

Is that a chunk of galvanized pipe after the pressure reducing valve?

Is that water 'system' hanging from the drain line?

How is all 'that' supported?

Neal;

How old was this house?

I thought the whole point of pex tubing was to minimize the number of fittings[:-banghea

Standard Pex, installed by someone who has only ever seen copper. LOL

Darren, my business partner did the inspection. It was a townhouse in Far Hills from the 90's. Next time, I'll send it your way. Too far for us.

If I recall correctly, there's only one townhouse development in Far Hills; I've done a few there but can't remember see that piping...

I think that development had to satisfy the low income housing requirements for Far Hills; after all you need 10 acres to build a house there.

Looks like the work of someone that found installing copper a bit beyond their skill set.

Apparently so was the pex.
