to be sure, I dont know, but it is a top quality hook-up hose. I dont think it is, or they could not sell it as a ice maker line

There no information about lead content on the package. Most faucet parts are made of brass and I believe would be very safe.

To the best ofmy knowledge it is lead free. None of the instructions that come with it say anything about lead and there do not seem to be any lead parts, Hope this helps.

I don't know whether it is exactly lead-free. You would need a lab test for this answer if you don't trust the seller.

I assume it is lead free as i use it every day, for definite answer, check with manufacture. I do not think it would contain any lead as no body would buy it, if there is any health risk involved.

This question brought up the same concern for me as an owner. I looked at the sprite web site, and could not find anything. I looked up some rules about use of lead in water supply. In California, where Sprite is located, there are rule against using lead in anything that gets wet from the supply side of water. Then I called Sprite this morning and asked them. The person who answered the phone told me the brass used to make this unit is lead free. Hope this helps.

No. The fittings are sold separately. The hose has 3/8 non-metallic fittings to thread into a brass coupler.

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.

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.

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.

Definitely lead free and should be usable in any country. Very nice, high quality small faucet. I'm quite happy with mine.

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

I would guess based on this, yes, it is lead free. "ALL crib mattresses sold in the USA pass the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) which tests for 6 types of phthalates, lead, and other potentially harmful substances. If the mattress components don't pass these tests, they are not on the market today."

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.

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.

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.

The package that the glass comes in does not specify if it is lead free. So I am unable to truthfully answer the question. The glass is clear without a green tint to it though. Sorry I was unable to help.
