So what is the possible issue with Zurn plumbing fittings?
According to Americas Watchdog, the possible issue with Zurn plumbing fittings involves premature cracking or leaking of Zurn plumbing fittings. Zurn's brass fittings are used in its plastic pipe system, known as a pex system ("PEX"). The fittings have failed prematurely across the country, causing Zurn to stop selling the brass fittings in some areas. The fittings are failing because of stress corrosion cracking and/or dezincification. Zurn blames "aggressive water" even though the fittings have failed on city water and many other types of drinking water supply sources. According to the group, "What scares us the most is there are literally millions of Zurn plumbing fittings that have been used across the U.S. in the last six years."
Zurn's fittings do not say Zurn on them; instead they say "Q" or "Q pex.
