Zurn Pex Failure Documents

Identifying the Product

Request Information

This is an informational web site related to putative class actions pending in federal courts. The homeowners who brought these cases have alleged that the brass fittings used to make connections in Zurn Pex systems were incorrectly designed and manufactured. As a result, the homeowners allege that the fittings fail prematurely – sometimes within a year after installation. The Zurn Pex fittings crack or leak in as few as two 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 of these fittings in certain areas but denies that it is liable for those failures. This case is intended to determine who is responsible for the premature failures.

New Developments

Zurn has admitted in court documents that it has stopped selling brass 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.

Filed Cases

Two federal court class actions have been filed against Zurn to date:

• Denise and Terry Cox et al. v. Zurn, pending in Minnesota
• Beverly Barnes and Brian Johnston et al. v. Zurn, pending in North Dakota
