Does the packaging that comes with this supply hose state that it is lead free? Does it meet CA Prop 65 requirements for lead free?

Not sure what the packaging says, but the hose is plastic, so I would assume that it is lead free based on that. Don't have anything concrete to though.

Yes it is. I was concerned just like you, Jean Paul. Mine had an insert that said complies with California safety regulation on lead. Hope that helps.

It is as lead free as something has to be to be sold in California, which is pretty lead free. Did you know that most brass has some lead content?In California, lead-free materials must be used for "each component that comes into contact with the wetted surface of pipes and pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures." On January 1, 2010, the maximum amount of lead in "lead-free brass" in California was reduced from 4% to 0.25% lead.

Never thought about that. The faucet ships from (and is probably made in) China. My guess would be it does not meet lead-free code. Unless, of course, the US requires it for imports.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great.

I do not know about it being lead free, the glaze on mine is holding up beautifully !

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

Melissa, I don't really know. I can't say 100% for sure it doesn't, but I believe it is lead-free.

Hard to say... I wasn't aware that a standard water hose wasn't drinking water safe. There is a 3 foot lead as you have noted... but only Ames can tell you about any lead content...although it looks like all brass fittings to me.

It's made in America, I'm not sure about the lead content, if any, also not sure why they ship two, maybe one for the front yard and one for the back. It is well made and doesn't leak at all where it's attached to the hose, like the plastic ones.

To which low lead compliance laws or regulations are you referring, State, Federal or local? Although I am a lawyer, I cannot answer that legal question, as I am not aware to which jurisdiction you are referring, nor am I aware of the specifications of this item. I was not looking for the answer to that question when we purchased nor installed it. I can say, however, this is an extremely high quality fixture, primarily stainless steel and brass, and on the nurse side (my other profession) where I do also focus on natural and holistic ideals, I do not recall seeing any lead parts nor any parts which would have made me suspicious of any lead content. Further, my husband who installed it, who owns rentals and is in real estate, and deals directly with plumbing all the time, would also have noticed if something appeared to have lead content. I remain convinced this is a great item, and am very pleased we have it.

Yes. I'd bought the Colorite Element ELCF34100 Contractor/Farm Lead Free, Kink Free 3/4-Inch-by-100-Foot Garden Hose (Brick colored) the year before and its brass coupling for the nozzle cracked. Otherwise, I loved the hose, so I bought the Gilmore coupling. It went on easily and actually provided (and continues to provide) a better (no drip) connection to the nozzle than the original had done.

The holding case says stainless steel. I believe it. Not sure about the CA prop 65. Then again, California is a whole diff planet. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what exact type of plastic but I know because it is CPSIA tested, it is free of phthalates, lead and all other metals, and meets the CC Prop 65 requirements.

They are supposed to be lead-free. The manufacturer's website states that they conform to all FDA regulations and California Prop 65 standards.

Hello! I am not sure about it being lead free but in my opinion it is much better tasting than other vinegars and is made in the traditional manner as real balsamic vinegar. I am very familiar with the process in Italy. As for the the lead; if there is any the chlorella I take daily and the clay I use monthly should take care of it :) hope that helps!P.S. I 2nd the praise of their olive oil. It is the only 1 we purchase
