Pressure plate

How often a pressure plate goes bad? Or, how often a brand new pressure plate is defective?
I have swapped my clutch linkage with a hydraulic system (Hydromax from American powertrain) and my clutch doesn't engage. It seems everything is function as it should and throughout bearing is travelling about 0.5", so, Based on their tech advise (which by the way, their tech support could be a lot more helpful considering their product price tag), it could be the pressure plate which is brand new with the clutch kit.
