Zack discusses the potential issues with brass supply plumbing in homes. Brass pipes can accumulate scale from hard water, leading to blockages and reduced water flow. They are also prone to dezincification, pinhole leaks, and may contain lead. He recommends replacing brass pipes with copper to avoid these problems. Signs of brass pipes include unique fittings and a shiny gold color when cut open. It is advised to remove brass pipes during renovations to prevent future issues. This information is crucial for those in the construction business, particularly in the areas of water heating, plumbing, and toilet installation.
