Service life
Years in service. One stated life so far; the band will widen as sources are added.
Work out when yours is due for replacement
One source. This value rests on a single document (Circular No. A-76 Revised Supplemental Handbook: Performance of Commercial Activities, Appendix 3 Useful Life and Disposal Value (March 1996), p52). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.

Municipal lives for plumbing (D20)
26 municipalities in Ontario and British Columbia state a life for plumbing as a whole, in 18 distinct tables: 15–50 years, median 25. 34 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 1 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.
