Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - August 17, 1992 Page - 21 - <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) <br /> Council Member Perry asked if the combustibility and toxicity of <br /> plastic pipe in walls is still an issue. Bob Lundstrom said at the <br /> Board of Appeals Meeting a video on using plastic pipe in rated <br /> construction was shown. He said plastic pipe in rated construction can <br /> spread fire through the walls in 40 minutes and burn through to other <br /> walls. <br /> Mayor Karp said it was stipulated that plastic pipe burns and melts. <br /> Paul Kappa, 15273 Inverness, said he has been a plumber for five years. <br /> He said the joints in plastic pipe break. He said the problems that <br /> have occurred have not been with Centar brand only. He said problems <br /> occur with plastic that do not occur with cast iron.
