for residential. My 2" piping is leaking, need to replace
a tee fitting,a 90 elbow and three lenghts of pipe

    More specifically

    ASTM-A53 carbon steel pipe, Schedule 40 (Schedule 80 on returns if you can get it).

    These numbers should be marked on the sides of the pipe. If the pipe is shiny with varnish it was probably made in China and has had mixed reviews (crumbling threads for one thing in certain sizes.) Buy American if you can find it. Better QC.
