Details: The proposed IPEX Kitec Plumbing class action settlement will resolve several class action lawsuits filed in the U.S. and Canada (collectively called In Re: Kitec Plumbing System Products Liability Litigation) that allege IPEX manufactured defective Kitec plumbing systems that prematurely fail, resulting in leaks or damage to the structures they’re installed in.
The Kitec class action settlement includes all persons that own, have owned, lease, or have leased a building, home, residence or any other structure in the United States and Canada that contains, or at any time contained, a Kitec Plumbing System (which may consist of components, individual parts, or as a system, PEX-AL-PEX, PE-AL-PE, PERT-AL-PERT, PEX pipe, valves, fittings).
You can see photos of the Kitec Systems here. There are also several ways to tell if you have a defective IPEX Kitec Plumbing System installed:
(1) The Kitec pipe is typically blue in color for cold water applications and orange in color for hot water applications.
(2) The pipe is usually marked with one of the following brand names: Kitec, PlumbBetter, IPEX AQUA, WarmRite, Kitec XPA, AmbioComfort, XPA, KERR Controls or Plomberie Améliorée.
(3) Where the fittings are visible look for the words Kitec or KTC on them. The terms CSA B137.9/10 or ATSM F1974 could also indicate that you have a Kitec system.
(4) Often, the best places to look for the Kitec system is near the hot water tank or in the mechanical room where the pipe is connected to or exits the walls. Also look under kitchen sinks or bathroom vanities, where the pipe and/or fitting exits the wall.
If approved, the IPEX class action lawsuit settlement will allow Class Members to share in the $125 million settlement to help pay for the repair of buildings, residences, homes or other structures plumbed with the defective Kitec Systems. The amount of compensation you will receive will depend on a number of factors, including the type and the cost of any property damage incurred.
To be eligible to receive compensation from the Kitec settlement, you must complete and submit a valid Claim Form within 8 years after the Effective Date. As of now, that estimated deadline is January 1, 2020. (Keep checking the Settlement Administrator's website at www.KitecSettlement.com for updates.)
If you wish to exclude yourself from the Kitec settlement and retain your right to sue individually, you must submit your request by September 30, 2011.
Purchased or Leased From: This settlement includes all IPEX manufactured Kitec Plumbing Systems, regardless of when they were purchased or installed.
Claims must be postmarked by: 1/20/20 (estimated)
