Uponor is responding to recent proposed and approved lead-level and lead-free legislation from states such as California and Vermont. For example, California’s lead-free legislation (AB1953) states that all metallic fittings, fixtures and any material that conveys potable tap (drinking) water must meet lead-level criteria at or below 0.25% by composition. In addition, these lead-free brass fittings also exceed the United States Safe Drinking Water Act.
