If it ain’t broke…
Again: Read www.pbpipe.com and call the 800 number for instructions.
Check the MANUFACTURED date of your mobile. 11 years back up to 1995 (approx) you are covered, if you had leaks.
A neighbor said a plumbing contractor “replaced all the pipes; Took 2 men 2 days.”
This was a few years ago. My neighbors did not contact the contractor. Maybe the contractor was “working” the rebate.
If you are not covered, and have leak, you might contact:
Previous owner (did they disclose the recall? )
Home warranty provider (if you have a home warranty)
Real estate agents (did they know of recall at time of sale?)
Plumbing companies (they may have done the recall procedure for another owner)
If you have leaks, the fittings (connectors) are probably the location.
If you are physically able, the repair is simple. Cut off the leaking fitting and replace.
Get CORRECT replacement connectors (and advice!) at hardware store, plumbing supply, etc. $3 to $6 each.
Lowes has the “Female Insert” fittings and replacement pipe. Home Depot did not.
DO NOT GLUE the grey qest pipe to CVPC. This was done by previous owner(s) The glue repair has come unglued in my mobile.
DO NOT USE HOSE CLAMPS. This old repair has leaked in my mobile.
read www.flair-it.com for alternate connectors.
I have chosen to replace ALL pipe and fittings because I live in California, and if I sell my mobile, I will have to DISCLOSE any actual problems, or risk a lawsuit by future owner.
By the way, I bought my mobile from a lawyer, so I will NOT be trying to sue the previous owner for failing to disclose any problems.
Also the process of dragging the mobile up a very steep driveway on “Turkey Hill” could have shaken things up a bit and caused leaks to get worse!

… from reading the legal notice, there’s no problem and no recall if the original tubing doesn’t leak. And I’m sure that leaking due to freezing pipes doesn’t count. My take on the situation is that there were some problems with leaks, but that the vast majority of homes are/were OK. I believe the problem was with certain kinds of fittings that the MH manufacturers used with the tubing. These are different from the fittings we’re discussing here. (Just my take on this. Consult a competant attorney for a professional interpretation of the legal issues.)
Best wishes,
Jerry

I have a double wide trailer that I bought in 1989 brand new. I sent a paper in and never heard from it. I had my plummer to fill it out. Since I never heard from it I have paid for all my leaks myself . I wish I could get my pipes redone. I thought that was what they were going to do but I never heard from the pipe co. Wanda Martin
