I purchased a FS3/4H90 v4 (version 4) which is lead free approx. 5 months ago. I do not know if this unit in the picture is earlier or later, my guess is it is an earlier unit.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great.

As far as I know brass doesn't have lead in it. I've had and used mine for a while with no problems.

The faucet is sold in various configurations but the model I received is lead-free brass and plastic interior. The only other configuration shown on the box is a forged brass and ceramic faucet. But the Likuan website does not make any mention to forged brass only low lead brass. So the configuration sold by Amazon is the safer option.

I'm not sure, I think some of kraus is made in USA but its something you will have to contact the company on. Its a solid faucet, I searched for certified lead free faucets for over a month tracing some of the standards of qualifications. All faucets seem to have an allowable lead content, hut not to exceed a certain amount you want to go with one that have been third party checked.

Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should? I do not know what the lead content is, but I bought this hose (2 of them actually) as the description states "Commercial grade machined brass fittings are specially plated to prevent lead from leaching into the water. A truly drinking water safe product." It is a tough choice: plastic fittings, which have no lead, but may break easily, or brass fittings, with lead, which are more durable. I honestly don't know what the best answer is, and no, I do not have a better answer to your question. I wish I did. Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should?

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

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. This is a new item that looks vintage. They don't make them with lead anymore. It's very well made. Almost soft to the touch out if the box. We haven't installed it yet. Enjoy!

I checked with the vendor and they confirmed by email that it is lead free.

Cannot answer question. Did not disassembly faucet. Most faucets have plastic parts, but I don't think they would have any lead based components in their product for health reasons.

The valve body is bronze. I've disassembled the relief valves and seen no lead there. Not sure about the test ports but can't imagine any there either.

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.

This is a cast iron sink so there is no lead in this product. Besides, Lead Free or AB1953 regulation only apply to kitchen and bathroom faucets, not to sinks.
