The Plastic Pipe & Fittings Association, on behalf of PEX water pipe manufacturers, recently filed a lawsuit against the California Building Standards Commission for excluding PEX from the California Plumbing Code.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks to overturn the state’s adoption of an updated plumbing code on May 2, 2002, which deleted PEX from the code pending an environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
