    Water Supply Pipe Materials

    Modern homes typically use PEX (flexible, easy to install, color-coded), copper (durable, high-pressure rated), or CPVC (suitable for hot water) for supply lines. Older homes may have galvanized steel pipes that should be replaced due to corrosion issues over time.
