Uponor Plumbing Lead-Free From Inlet to Faucet
 Uponor earlier this month introduced a complete line of lead-free brass transition fittings and valves that meet various state lead-free laws and exceed the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.
Combining these new fittings with Uponor’s flexible cross-linked polyethylene (Pex-a) tubing, extensive engineered plastic (EP) and ProPEX Out-of-the-Wall Support System provides a complete lead-free plumbing solution — from the inlet to the faucet.
The new fittings carry the National Science Foundation's marking for lead-free compliance and feature Uponor’s unique ProPEX fitting system for strong, durable connections without the need for solvents, glues, torches or gauges.
“Uponor is again offering solid building solutions to respond to market conditions and demands,” said Jayson Drake, the company’s senior product manager for plumbing and fire safety.
“We see the need for lead-free compliance in states such as California, Washington and Vermont, and have responded by being the first to offer a plumbing solution that accurately and effectively meets those requirements for all communities.”
The manufacturer’s new lead-free products feature a total of 34 brass transition fittings and valves, which are available in sizes up to 1-1/4 inches. Included are stub ells, tub ells, elbows, adapters, ball valves and stop valves, as well as fittings for washing machine and ice maker outlet boxes.
Uponor Corporation is a leading supplier of plumbing, fire safety and radiant heating and cooling systems for the residential and commercial building markets across North America and Europe, and a market leader in municipal infrastructure pipe systems in the Nordic countries.
