is there lead in this faucet?

Hello, I believe the brass fittings for the faucet will contain lead. It all depends on the type of brass forging for the fittings. I did not check the product specifications to see exactly the type of forging. For the faucet to be sold in CA in particular, the forging needs to be NSF/ANSI 61 certified and conform to UNS C89833 forging. This type of forging will say "lead free" but in reality it has a maximum of 0.25% lead by weight. Other types of brass forgings will have around 2-8%. Due to the process of forging, some lead will be present in the brass, it is just a matter of which forging has less of it. The CA forging requirement is about as stringent on lead as it gets. So to answer the question, yes, it will have traces of lead in the brass fittings. However much less than other products in other states.

No. This is a new item that looks vintage. They don't make them with lead anymore. It's very well made. Almost soft to the touch out if the box. We haven't installed it yet. Enjoy!

Yes, there will be some lead, but there are very strict limitations on how much lead, especially in California. I believe the limit is no more than .25% by weight. So, yes, there is lead, but probably not enough to be worried about.

I do not know the answer to your question and am completely surprised that you would ask it . May I ask why you would think it has lead in it and if so where did you get that information . We have three of these faucets and am very please with the style and seem to be wonderful . Thank you in advance. Patricia Morgan

To the best of my knowledge there is no lead. I would find it difficult to believe that any item intended for food or drinks would be permitted to be sold unless marked for decorative purposes only.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

It's a lead free crystal decanter. So, why would the top be lead? And, how would one tell the difference?

It appears to be all brass. If there is any lead hidden in the product, it's not going to hurt the plants or the grass and I don't intend to drink from the hose nozzle. I'm happy with the product. I also have no idea how one would determine if there was anything but brass without having it melted down.

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.

Cannot answer question. Did not disassembly faucet. Most faucets have plastic parts, but I don't think they would have any lead based components in their product for health reasons.

Yes as far as I can tell . I researched this brand and it is suppose to be lead free .

I see no indication of lead being used in the bottle. I use mine for my sodastream using an adapter. The tanks is aluminum, and has brass fittings. I have had no problems with this tank. I believe the kids have even used it for their paintball guns. :D

I understand your concern regarding the lead but I have another question for you:all the other faucets you have in the house, mainly the kitchen are made from what material? Lead in brass is a stabilized component, is not just "leaking" lead. This device is mainly for the showering water, it's intent is not to filter drinking water. Anyway, as far as I can see myself, its internal surface is also chromed and the water contact with the casing is minimal as long as it has sealing o-rings both at entry and exit of the water. Our personal experience with it was that after an usual shower we did not have the itchy back skin as before which we find as a good sign. I hope that this helps.

Ask the manufacturer, as such information isn't provided. I expect they'll say lead-free. Just don't lick the faucet!

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.

Your kitchen faucet contains far more lead than this device. Anything with brass or similar metals will have lead. Just don't lick the tape measure and you'll be ok.

No.. It's metal. I've had this faucet since around March. I absolutely love it! No problems at all. I have a very picky husband and he loves it too. It's a high-quality faucet.

NO. At least, one product reviewer states the package states: "Note: the brass in this product contains lead.""wash hands after handling."
