Oct 13 (Reuters) – New Zealand’s Fletcher Building FBU.NZ said on Friday the cause of plumbing failures that occurred in a number of homes built in Perth, Australia from 2017-2022 were caused due to installation issues and not a manufacturing defect as claimed by the Buckeridge Group of Companies.
Fletcher said in August nearly 1,500 of 15,000 houses constructed in Western Australia using its pro-fit polybutylene plumbing pipes had experienced leaks between mid-2017 and mid-2022.
