Furthermore, these lines may become even more susceptible to breaking, bursting or failing under normal use if parts, such as the inner tubing and coupling nuts, are made using low-quality materials.

According to the lawsuit, Watts uses inferior materials for the inner tubing of these lines, which can degrade or fail when exposed to high temperatures and chemicals commonly found in a property’s water supply.
