Revolutionizing Plumbing: PEX-AL-PEX Pipes vs. Kitec Pipes

In the ever-evolving pursuit of enhancing home plumbing systems, the Kitec pipe presents a cautionary tale.?

Featuring a flexible aluminum pipe nestled between inner and outer layers of plastic pipe (PEX pipe) with brass fittings, it bears a striking resemblance to our cutting-edge PEX-AL-PEX pipes.?

However, Kitec pipe's journey has been marred by pitfalls, offering valuable lessons in the quest for plumbing perfection.

The Kitec Story

Introduced in Canada in 1995, Kitec gained popularity between 1995 and 2007 due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation.?

However, the first Kitec recall occurred in 2005, revealing a lifespan of around 10 years.?

Professionals even predict that its failure rate would only increase with time.?

What are the main issues with Kitec?

Critical Flaws in Kitec Pipe

1. Zinc-Rich Brass Fittings:?

The brass fittings used to connect Kitec pipes contain significant zinc content.?

Exposure to water and oxygen initiated a process called dezincification, corroding the fittings and leading to blockages and burst pipes.

2. Temperature and Pressure Vulnerability:

Kitec pipes are susceptible to rapid deterioration when subjected to high temperatures (above 82 degrees Celsius) or excessive pressure.?

Unlike copper pipes that typically show signs of leakage prior to failure, Kitec pipes tend to burst outright, resulting in significant water damage.

PEX-AL-PEX Pipes: The Superior Choice

In stark contrast to Kitec plumbing, our PEX-AL-PEX pipes offer a host of advantages:

1. Premium Materials:

Crafted from corrosion-resistant imported raw materials, our pipes exhibit superior sealing properties.

2. Oxidation-Resistant:

The aluminum strip within our pipes is welded in an inert gas environment, preventing oxidation during production.

3. Robust Five-Layer Design:

With a five-layer structure, our pipes effectively ward off internal oxidation and corrosion.

4. Enhanced Adhesion:

The unique bonding technique between the aluminum and plastic layers results in strength twice that of national standards.

5. Proven Longevity:

Validated through years of practical use, our pipes boast a lifespan exceeding 50 years, providing lasting peace of mind.

While Kitec plumbing's shortcomings serve as a cautionary tale, our PEX-AL-PEX pipes exemplify the pinnacle of modern plumbing innovation.?

With a keen focus on quality, resilience, and longevity, our pipes embody the future of plumbing excellence.?

Experience the difference by choosing PEX-AL-PEX pipes for plumbing systems that stand the test of time.
