Hi all!
Can anyone tell me how common zinc plated steel pipes are for potable water applications in house installations in the USA? A qualitative answer like "hardly ever used" or "quite common" will basically do, since I need to know if zinc plated steel should be taken into account as a pipe material when constructing faucets and valves. If it is only a margin product, I will "ignore" it.
Thx a lot..

Galvanized pipe is "hardly ever" used in the Western US.
In February 2004, 214 contractors in the Western US replied to a survey by the Reeves Journal on choosing pipe materials.

That is for contractors; DIYers tend to prefer CPVC-- quick, no special tools or dangerous torches, easy to cut out and redo when you screw up.
