Drinking water thru clear vinyl tubing OK ???
replying to chirisophus, JimS wrote:
The clear vinyl tubing recommended by Home Depot worker actually has "NOT FOR ICEMAKER" line printed on the tubing. Too bad I did not see the printing (pretty faint) until after installation. Need to go back demanding replacement. The paper label also indicate that it contains chemical determined to cause cancer in California. So examined the label carefully. -- for full context, visit http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...ok-466638-.htm |

Sure, just tell them "I'm too stupid to read so I demand my money back" |

One of several reasons I wont use PEX pipe. |

Too bad I did not see the printing The worker hasn't got time to read every label either and I doubt they sell any other kind of tubing. I've bought clear vinyl tubing twice at HD, in the last 18 months, but somehow I can't remember what either of them was for. (pretty faint) until after installation. Need to go back demanding replacement. The paper label also indicate that it contains chemical determined to cause cancer in California. So examined the label carefully. Just about everything has that California warning. They must have made some mistake when they wrote the law, because I'm sure it's not doing what they intended. |
