Polybutylene and Sun City West's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 63%, above the Arizona figure of 35%. That ranks 1st highest of the 29 Arizona cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Sun City West ask about it.
Look for gray (sometimes blue or black) flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the water heater, under sinks or at the main shutoff. Homes of the same era in nearby Peoria, Surprise, Sun City raise the same question.
In Arizona: Summer heat bakes water heaters in garages and exposed irrigation lines, while rare winter freezes crack backflow assemblies.
