Where is this made? How can I be sure it is really lead-free? If it is so solid, why do I have to buy two- I only have one hose and need only one

I have no idea where it's made, but it's sturdy. And it's the best nozzle we've ever found. Really great and strong pressure for hosing off the pool surround. If you have two hoses you'll need two nozzles.

Made in USA as I remember. It looks like they were made of pure brass round stock and turned down on a lathe. VERY well made. You won't find these at Walmart. Why two? I have no idea, but I needed two.

These are the BEST in the Market!! We bought two of them and gave one to our son. We tried to order another, but they were no longer available. I hope Amazon makes them available again. They are indestructible, like the ones we had when we were kids back in the 50's!! Nothing fancy, but sturdy and great pressure. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They are made in the USA. I don't know about the material they are made of, but my husband is doctoral toxicologist and has sees no problem. That's all I know.

They are made in the USA. They are very solid and I suspect will last a very long time, if not a lifetime. I needed two because I have two hoses, but you could always gift one to someone... or buy another hose!

The are made in the US. They seem to be high quality solid brass, so I think no lead. I don't know how you can tell for sure without some testing. I don't know why they sell them in pairs, but I'm really happy with mine.

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.

Richard, It's been so long since I bought this Hose Reel, that I don't remember if it was made in the US of A or not, but it 'seems' like it was. This is my second one of these. The first one lasted several years, so I got another one to replace it. I have no complaints about it, as it holds a Lot of hose on it.

Hi John, Most brass has some lead in it usually about 2%, lead helps with the manufacturing process of brass. So my answer would be it probably has a small amount. I do not drink water out of my hose and only use it for hosing down my siding, washing vehicles I even use it to fill the holding tank on my RV, I do not drink the water from my RV holding tank. Remember many years ago lead pipes were used for water lines in houses, schools etc... This is the best water nozzle that I have ever owned and I have owned many in my lifetime, I'm 59. Because of the durability and great variable spray pattern of this nozzle I would reccomend this. If you fish or shoot guns you will come in contact with a million times more lead than by using this nozzle. My only complaint about this nozzle is that the rubber washer is no good, the first thing to do is buy a new washer as the one that came with it leaks. Other than that on a score of one to ten. This is for sure a 10. I believe that there is more danger in smoking or second hand smoke than to worry about any lead that may be in this nozzle. Good luck with your decision.

It is not too bad a hose, I have only used it 3 weeks, it doesnt shink back up well but it is light weight and so far, it has not torn. I had a green one from another company that did tear like yours tore. It is made in China.

Hi Janie, I don't know where the lead would be, as it's all bamboo. There isn't any place on it that there could even be any lead, not to mention that it is imported and anything that enters our country has to be Rohs compliant. Lead has been banned in the USA since 1978.

Hi. Brass is a lead alloy and pipes are supposed to be lead free. However this is only 1 inch of brass. If you have elevated levels of lead I would stay away from this. You try it and get a water sample. I like the brass ones because they are built better and made to last. Plastic ones crack.

Hi CK, These mugs were made in China like alot of stuff is. I checked with the company and they said the mugs are lead free.You can contact them also (800)430-5665

The box I got for my great grandkids said "made in USA" so I can only assume there is NO lead paint. It's the crap made in China that I do not buy that might be a danger. Hope this helps you.

Found many listings for hose's on Amazons site. That said save yourself a problem and buy one made of metal not the plastic that these come with. I have had to replace 4 already over the last 3 years due to the connector breaking.

I just looked at my set and it says it's from Massachusetts but stamped "made in China". Not sure about lead - I wouldn't think so since they're tin and hopefully the paint is embedded enough to not emit any if there was. My grandkids drink real water and sometimes tea from them.

Can't tell u if it's lead free. It is made in China. It says so right on the crock pot.

1. Teknor claims it's lead free. 2. They sell two versions - one 1/2" fitting, the other 5/8" fitting.With that said I was very disappointed with the quality of the hose. I had much better luck with Dramm products.

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.

I don't remember seeing a label. I wish I would have done more research on it first, but I would probably be using a lead free rubber hose of some kind (if that even exists) if I were watering plants or for drinking water, which I am not. I just bought it to wash the dog.

Not sure what you mean by "how long is lead in hose". Please be more explicit by defining what you mean by "lead".

You are on the right track - marine hoses are drinking safe - Neverkink is made in the USA, is lead free - although the hose itself is very thick compared to other hoses, maybe that's why they don't kink ?? So good luck with poking holes in it !

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.
