What is the Kitec Litigation?
A class action lawsuit involving brass KITEC® plumbing fittings (“Kitec® Fittings”) that was certified by the Nevada District Court on October 16, 2006, which alleges that KITEC® Fittings are defective because they dezincify and fail when exposed to water. This class action includes all owners of residences in Clark County, Nevada that contain, or at any time contained, a Kitec and/or PlumBetter piping system and/or components, although it is now believed this product was not used extensively in Clark County beyond 2004. The litigation involves numerous builders and plumbing contractors and to accomplish the total settlement, there will be numerous subclass settlements.
