A Canadian manufacturer of plumbing supplies, notably for their flexible water pipes and brass compression fittings, has a class action lawsuit on their hands. The brass fittings react with the aluminum coated interiors of the plastic piping and eventually the brass corrodes and deteriorates until it breaks and home owners are faced with the bill. The company is Ipex but they made products under other names like Kitec.
I just found out from my neighbor who sold his house. The inspector picked it up. Looks like hot water baseboard wasn't such hot idea. Time to upgrade to a heat pump. Good thing I didn't paint my walls yet, like I was planning to do this spring.
