Embrace the Era of Lead-Free Faucets – Compliant with the Latest Regulations
At the forefront of safety and innovation, faucet manufacturers have taken decisive action in response to recent regulations. Residential kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, bar faucets, drinking fountains, and ice-makers have all undergone significant changes to decrease or eliminate lead content.
Starting January 4, 2014, all faucets are now produced with no more than a weighted average of 0.25 percent lead concerning the wetted surface. This national standard ensures that every faucet you choose meets stringent lead-free requirements, offering you and your family peace of mind.
Certification for Plumbing Fixtures: The National Sanitary Foundation (NSF) determines plumbing fixtures’ “lead-free” status. The NSF’s International Standard 61-Section 9 is the benchmark for lead-free compliance. When you purchase new faucets adhering to the NSF 61 standard, you can easily identify them by the “NSF 61/9” stamp on the product’s cardboard box.
For More Information: If you’re eager to explore an array of lead-free fixtures, including catalogs and website directories, the NSF is your trusted source. Get in touch with them at 1-800-NSF-MARK or visit www.nsf.org.
