    Bring the pipe in question over to a local plumbing supply store and explain your issue. They should be able to advise you properly!

    No way for us to tell. Many MH's had Polybutylene piping, grey in color, not glued. It could be PEX which is not glued. If it is glued, and on a hot water side, most likely CPVC, cream in color. We are only guessing here!!

    The experts gave you good advice, You MUST use the same type of pipe and fittings. It sounds like you've mismatched the two pipes. Take a piece of the old pipe in and match it up. Good luck, To
