is Shark Bite approved by the building departments in California

Regarding the "California warning": That's because "lead free brass" is defined by the Feds as "less than 8% lead". California requires that warning on anything with more than 0% lead, so most brass plumbing fittings require that label. Here again I would call a local plumber he would have more info on it as far as building code.

I have not checked to see if anything has changed, but as of January 1, 2010, changes to California and Vermont laws prohibit selling any pipe, fitting, or fixture that is intended to dispense or convey drinking water and that has a weighted average lead content of more than 0.25% based on a wetted surface area calculation. Apparently this is why Shark Bite fittings were not approved in California and Vermont. However, I now see that lead-free brass push fittings are available (by Shark Bite & others, and there are also the plastic equivalents) that can be shipped (and therefore used?) in California & Vermont. Here's an example sold on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/n5hny5m There are also the plastic push-fittings, as previously mentioned, that would comply with the lead limits: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XTZYMW/ref=biss_dp_t_asn (Accepts nylon and polyurethane tube fittings only). Having said all this, I would definitely consult the actual building code/s in your specific county/city/town to be absolutely sure.

I really don't know. California is pretty strict on most things. I do know they have been used in Europ for many years and I have had good luck with them so far in the installations I have done in my home in Virginia.

You may wish to do further research by going to their website: www.yerbaprima.com You may also direct questions of this nature to their email: yerba@yerbaprima.com This is all the info I have at this time. Since I live on the East Coast, I am not aware of the Cali Prop 65 that you mention.

Most items produced, shipped, or sold in or around California have the proposition 65 warming on them from fast-food restaurants to cars to shampoo. An important note is that the presence a Prop 65 warning does not necessarily indicate a product itself is specifically unsafe. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

Not sure about that, but good luck with trying to get Shark to answer you back. They have not replied to my problem at all in 3 months!

No I don't have it installed. I bought these and the sharks to compare the quality. Do yourself a favor and save some money by going with the sharks. I can't tell a difference between the two.

Hi Marsha, yes the shark is safe for laminated floors as long as the floors are intact and there are no gouges or gaps in the floor.

Hi Sharon, if you are referring to a vinyl engineered laminate floor, and the floor is applied and sealed properly then yes you can use the Shark on the floor

I am unfamilar with the term "push" when combined with dagger. But I do not believe this tool is illegal under California law. I cannot speak to the laws of other States.

I know Shark does sell them but it would have to be charged. Best check with them.

Yes, it is legal in CA. You can visit http://iSpyDefense.com and look in the Stun Gun Law Section to view states/cities where they are restricted. You can check your county/local law enforcement web page for information in your area or ask them a question. Thank you!

Since the nuclear plant had and explosion, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any product that is naturally harvested in that area. Don't take a chance. If i see California Prop 65, I don't buy it. There is a reason for the warning.

Thanks Gourd! That was very helpful information!! And thanks Randy, as I haven't even thought about this! I am in FLorida and will look into what (if anything) Progress energy offers for rebates! It seems to be that the powers that be over there in CA are generally "greener" than us over here in Florida- but I can hope and find out! Thanks you two!

Can't say either whether it is UL approved. It runs quietly, the louvers are adjustable, and I like the variable speed control

The is no DOJ approval required for safes like this in most sane places, but from your question I guess you mean California DOJ, where such approval is required by certain laws. In that case, yes, but you could always check an official list if you are paranoid: the documentation at least claims that it is approved for use in California. As an aside, this thing is MUCH tougher than most other "California-approved" devices I've seen.

No. If you think this presents a risk, then you are free to double check all things known to the State of California. Good luck.

Gas powered tools and equipment must be CARB compliant for use in California. CARB (California Air Resources Board) is the clean air bureau of California.

They are but you have to get a third party program to do it as shark does not have one of their own.
