Kitec® Plumbing Fittings manufactured by IPEX, Inc. May Cause Leaks in your Home
Allegedly defective fittings may cause damage to your home and plumbing system. IPEX's composite pipe, which is known as Kitec®, consists of flexible aluminum pipe sandwiched between an inner and outer layer of plastic pipe (PEX Pipe®). Kitec® generally comes in two colors: blue (for cold water use) and orange (for hot water use).
If you suspect you may have Kitec® Fittings manufactured by IPEX, Inc. in your home, please complete our short CONFIDENTIAL contact form on the right side of this page or call us immediately at 713.229.9300. We will thoroughly examine your case, answer your questions, and inform you of your legal rights and options.
Kitec® Fittings were used extensively in the construction of residential homes. Kitec® Fittings allegedly fail when they are exposed to water because of a chemical reaction known as dezincification, which results in reduced water flow and leaks. Dezincified Kitec® Fittings may cause damage not only when they burst and leak, but also impair the ability of a home's plumbing system to effectively provide water to appliances and fixtures.
How do I find out whether I have Kitec® in my home?
A home plumbed with a Kitec® plumbing system may have a yellow or neon sticker on the inside panel of its electrical box. However, before you check, please be sure that you have experience with the location and safe use of your home's electrical panel box. The purpose of these stickers is to alert electricians regarding proper electrical grounding procedures for nonmetallic plumbing. Often, homes with Kitec® plumbing will have stickers that say "Kitec" or "Plumbetter." If you find such a sticker in your electrical panel box, it is likely that your home contains Kitec® brass fittings.
However, please be aware that stickers were sometimes used indiscriminately to warn of nonmetallic plumbing systems other than Kitec®. It is therefore possible that your home does not contain Kitec® plumbing even if you find a yellow sticker in the electrical panel box. Likewise, many homes that contain Kitec® plumbing do not have stickers in their electrical panel boxes. Thus, if your electrical panel box does not reveal a sticker indicating that Kitec® was installed in your home, you may need to have your home inspected to determine whether it was plumbed with Kitec®.
If my home has Kitec® fittings, what are my repair options?
It is believed that the only adequate repair method is a complete re-plumb of both the hot and cold water lines of your home. Generally, a full re-plumb takes approximately five (5) days for most homes to be completed and does not require relocation. Please complete our short CONFIDENTIAL contact form on the right side of this page or call us immediately at 713.229.9300 to discuss your legal rights and repair options.
What do I do if I have a leak?
Treat it as you would any other leak, including taking steps to minimize any damage and contacting your homeowner's insurance carrier. If a leak occurs, immediately notify your plumber to stop the leak and to minimize any damage to your home. If a repair is required, keep all receipts and documentation of the repair. Please make sure to keep any Kitec® fittings or pipe that must be removed to carry out the repair.
