Plumbing Pipe Advocate Warns Homeowners to Only Buy Copper or Pex Type Plumbing Pipe or Fittings That Are Made in The USA Because Made in China Does Not Translate into Quality

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Plumbing Pipe Advocate is saying, "We are urging homeowners that are about to do a home improvement project to avoid purchasing plumbing products that are not made in the USA. Assembled in the USA in our book does not qualify as made in the USA. We need to also mention there a serious problem with Chinese made copper plumbing pipes that were used in residential construction between 2003 and 2012 in Western States like California and we suspect the problem is about to go national with class action lawsuits.

"We find it astonishing but Chinese made copper residential pipe, and Chinese made copper and brass plumbing fittings are still being sold in the largest home improvement stores in the United States. Within the last year sales associates in these stores have told us-quote 'our customers want cheap, so this is exactly why we sell these Chinese made plumbing pipes or fittings.' While these home improvement stores might stand behind Chinese made copper plumbing pipe or Chinese made fittings if they fail, why go through the hassle of having to hire an attorney to get reimbursed for the pipe replacement or damage?" http://PlumbingPipeAdvocate.Com

The Plumbing Pipe Advocate is also urging home buyers who are looking at newly built single-family homes, condominiums and or townhomes to verify the property is plumbed with residential plumbing pipes and plumbing fittings that are made in the USA. Prior to closing on the property, the home buyer should get the warranty information in writing on the pipe and or fittings from the builder. The Advocate fears if the largest home improvement stores in the USA are still selling Chinese made copper pipe or pipe fittings-some homebuilders may still be using these products because they are so cheap. http://PlumbingPipeAdvocate.Com

According to the group, "As we have seen with other Chinese made building products such as toxic Chinese drywall, if the homebuilder goes broke because they used defective construction products the homeowners only recourse may be attempting a file a lawsuit against a Chinese company. As we saw with toxic Chinese drywall the Chinese do not stand behind the products they make. If you are about to buy a new home or remodel and existing one please make certain you specify only USA Made plumbing products-to include:

• Copper residential plumbing pipe
• Brass plumbing fittings
• Pex pipe and or pex pipe systems
• Cast iron plumbing pipe or fittings (Insist on McWane-The best cast iron pipe in the world)
• Stainless steel plumbing pipe
• Stainless steel plumbing pipe fittings  

The Plumbing Pipe Advocate's number one goal is protecting America's home buyers or homeowners from defective plumbing pipes. In the strongest terms-possible the Advocate is urging homeowners to avoid a band-aid approach for major plumbing repairs, re-pipes, or plumbing patch jobs as the cost may outweigh the benefit. The group is urging homeowners and homebuilders to only use plumbing pipe and or plumbing fittings that are made in the USA. http://PlumbingPipeAdvocate.Com
