Plastic Plumbing Distribution piping problems

If you have certain types of Pex plastic piping (P-pex or MB-pex) installed to distribute the water in your home then potential problems have been identified with the brass connectors and stainless steel clamps that have been corroding. These systems have been installed between 1999 and 2005 in many homes and also in commercial installations. Leaks can result or at least reductions in flow caused by clogging corrosion bi-products. A class law suit is being finalised in Canada that should pay to repair damage, leaks and ultimately replace complete plumbing systems assuming you qualify, systems installed prior to 1999 may not. There is an existing concern for Ki Tech brand plastic piping that has been known for several years where it can burst due to the internal metal liner fracturing. The manufacturer has discontinued the product and adaptors that are used to repair the damaged tube are becoming extremely difficult to source according to plumbing specialists.

Both types of material should have markings existing that will identify them, KI Tec may be red, blue or orange in colour.

This WILL become a concern in many ways for existing owners and potential purchasers.
