Wilkins Lead-Free Plumbing Products
Clean, untainted drinking water is of vital importance to every individual, especially our children. New regulations, regarding lead in drinking water, are in effect in some states and just over the horizon in others. Wilkins is at the forefront of offering plumbing products that do not leach lead into our drinking water. Wilkins complete Lead-Free product line of Backflow Preventers, Water Pressure Reducing Valves, Thermostatic Mixing Valves, Strainers, Ball Valves, Dielectric Unions and other plumbing products are available and will comply with the new state legislation and health codes.
California and Vermont are currently the only states to adopt laws requiring Lead Free plumbing products for the distribution of water for cooking and drinking. The term “Lead Free” has been defined by legislation to mean that a plumbing product contains not more than a weighted average of 0.25% lead on the wetted surfaces.
Wilkins, a leader in the plumbing products industry, has taken a proactive approach by offering products that meet & exceed these stringent requirements. From new alloys to corrosion resistant composites, you can trust Wilkins for superior quality & design.
Look for the new Wilkins Lead-Free “XL” logo on product packaging, specification sheets and other media.
