For years T&S Brass has been a leading manufacturer in spray valves, commercial faucets and plumbing equipment. T&S Brass has always tried to stay on top of all new regulations by providing quality, innovative products.
The California Assembly Bill 1953 was signed into a law in September of 2006. This law requires a reduced amount of lead content in products to a weighted average of no more than .25% in pipes and other plumbing fixtures.
The Law specifically states as follows:
"No person shall introduce into commerce, for use in California, any pipe, pipe or plumbing fitting, or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking water or cooking that is not lead free.* This includes kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, and any other end-use devices intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking.
*PLEASE NOTE: Use of the term ‘lead free’ varies between the new legislation in CA and VT, and in the current Federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. In the new legislation for CA and VT only, starting in 2010, it will mean 0.25% or less (weighted average).
We here at J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment are a proud distributor of T&S Brass products and a proud advocate of Low Lead Laws in commercial faucets and plumbing equipment.
