Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "Since these are brass fittings do they contain lead?"
A.Some of these fittings might contain a very small amount of lead. Less than the former old days but some never the less. Consider that for many years copper fittings and pipe were soldered together with 50% lead and now very little lead may be used by law. The more acidic the water, the more tends to leach out. Should you be concerned? Some would argue that any amount is bad, and they would not use it for potable water. Others argue that plastics will be the new "asbestos" of the future and are poisoning us without our knowledge (like the very old days when many water pipes were made out of 100% lead). We don't know, and so we cannot recommend these fittings (or any fittings made out of anything) for potable water; but we can say that we ourselves drink our own water from and through these fittings.
Q. "Do you offer lead free fittings?"
A. In compliance with the lead free legislation of a growing number of states, we offer a variety of low lead fittings and other AB1953 compliant products here.
Q. "What does it mean to have ANSI Certification for lead free plumbing products?"
A. Laws requiring plumbing products that come in to contact with drinking water to be essentially lead-free (0.25% weighted average) have been passed in California, Louisiana, Maryland, and Vermont. In order for companies to ship these plumbing products to locations in CA, LA, MD and VT, they must be ANSI certified lead free.
Q. "What is CA AB 1953, LA Act No. 362, MD HB 372, and VT S.152 and how is this different from previous low-lead legislation?"
A. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the amount of lead in drinking water under guidelines established in the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (passed in 1974; amended in 1988 and 1996). This Act defines "lead-free" as not more than 8% lead in pipes and fixture fittings. PLEASE NOTE: Use of the term "lead-free" varies between the new legislation in CA (AB 1953), LA ( Act No. 362), MD (HB 372), and VT (S.152), and in the current Federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. In the new legislation for CA, LA, MD and VT only (as of Jan 2013), it will mean 0.25% or less (weighted average). Similar national legislation is scheduled to go into effect Jan 2014.
