NIBCO Pex tubing - plumbing/supply line leak

Kosh Vokter
Posted

Inspected a SF home in AL built 2009. There was a supply line leak in the garage before that has been addressed since. The inspector couldn't figure out the manufacturer of the PEX used and was concerned that it could  be Nibco Pex and recommended getting a plumber out. Looks like there has been an issue with NIBCO tubing and PEX before per NIBCO Tubing, Fittings, and Clamps Class Action Settlement - Class Action (classactionsettlementguide.com)

There is no active leak and there are other homes in the neighborhood built by the same builder and used Nibco Plex. Anyone know more about this issue with NIBCO tubing pex or dealt with such issues in the past? trying to decide if this is a deal-breaker or if it's worth spending more $ to get a plumber out before making a decision.
