Defective Plumbing Litigation (Zurn Pex)

This is litigation against the maker of Zurn Pex plumbing systems.  Zurn's fittings are identified by a Q Pex or a QPex stamped on their side.  The homeowners who brought these cases claim that Zurn's brass fittings were incorrectly designed and manufactured.  As a result, the homeowners allege that the Zurn Pex fittings fail prematurely - sometimes only months after installation.  Substantial water damage may occur when the fittings fail.

Zurn has acknowledged that it has seen an increased number of premature failures and leaks in its QPex fittings but denies that it is liable for those failures.  This case is intended to determine who is responsible for the premature failures.

The problems with Zurn Pex fittings cracking and leaking are so severe that one of Zurn's own representatives calls the fittings a "ticking time bomb."

Zurn has admitted in court documents that it has stopped selling brass Zurn Pex fittings in Minnesota.  Zurn has also stopped selling the brass fittings elsewhere and is now touting its plastic Pex fittings.  We believe this withdrawal of the fittings from the market is strong evidence that the fittings are defective.
