Kitec Brass Fitting Failures: Kitec plumbing systems
were installed in US homes from 1998 until 2005.
Americas Watchdog & its Construction Defect Center are conducting a
national investigation of a
plumbing
part known as a Kitec brass fitting. This plumbing part
was used in residential construction in the US from 1999
to late 2004. This investigation is a result of a class
action lawsuit that has been certified in Las Vegas,
Nevada (Case Number A493302). The focus of
the Construction Defect Center's investigation is to
determine if homeowners in other cities, or states have
had failures similar to those alleged in the in
the Las Vegas
class action.
The Construction Defect Center is also very interested in the
following types of defective construction products.
