Kitec plumbing gained popularity in buildings from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. It was commonly used for hot and cold-water supply lines, as well as radiant heating and under-floor heating systems. The system featured blue pipes for cold water and orange pipes for hot water throughout homes. Marketed as a cost-effective and flexible alternative to copper piping, Kitec pipes were made of polyethylene with a thin layer of aluminum, and typically included orange and blue flexible piping with brass fittings.
