polypipe

plural polypipes

1. A pipe made from polybutylene.

   I felt like you do when you realise a polypipe's about to come apart at the join. What do you do first? Try to jam it back on? Rush to the valve? Rush to the pump?

   A few years ago, the fisherman ^([sic]) on the Li River began making their fishing rafts out of plastic polypipes instead of the traditional bamboo because they lasted longer. She tells me they are now going back to using bamboo. Their plastic rafts, which used to last more than five years, are now lasting less than one.
