When Was Kitec Plumbing Used?
Kitec plumbing was commonly used between 1995 and 2007. It was primarily found in homes, condominiums, and commercial properties, initially marketed as a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative to copper piping. To identify whether your home has kitec pipes installed, look for bight orange pipes used for hot water lines and blue pipes used for cold water lines. Kitec pipes may also be labeled with brand names like Kitec, PlumbBetter, IPEX, or AmbioComfort.
If your home was built or renovated during the late 90s or early 2000s, it’s likely Kitec pipes are present. If you’re unsure however, our experts at AquaRescue can arrive on-site and perform a professional inspection to confirm.
Are Kitec Pipes Bad?
Yes, unfortunately, kitec pipes have proven to be unreliable and problematic over time. The pipes and fittings can deteriorate, corrode, or fail prematurely due to chemical reactions with water and poor manufacturing materials. This can lead to pipes bursting, severe leaks, water pressure loss, and costly property damage.
Many homes with kitec water lines have experienced severe failures, resulting in insurance claims and expensive legal settlements. Many insurance companies now even refuse to cover homes with kitec plumbing, and replacement is often necessary for home sales and to maintain valid insurance coverage. For these reasons, we highly recommend taking proactive measures to replacing kitec piping.
What Can I Replace Kitec Plumbing With?
Today, homeowners have much safer, longer-lasting options for plumbing systems. We offer several durable and safe alternatives to kitec plumbing. The most common materials used for kitec pipe replacement include:
- PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) piping: Flexible, durable, and resistant to corrosion and scale buildup.
- Copper piping: Time-tested for its strength, longevity, and reliability.
- CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride): A strong, temperature-resistant alternative ideal for both hot and cold-water applications.
Choosing the right material depends on your budget, the layout of your home, local building codes, and your long-term needs. At AquaRescue, we will guide you through selecting the best replacement option tailored to your situation.
