Does this hose contain lead, is it drinking safe, does it have a Calif. Prop 65 hazard warning?

I'm sorry Tom, I can't answer the questions you asked. I can tell you that after giving the hose a glowing review I've completely changed my mind. The hose blew a hole near the very end. It supposedly has a life time warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they never replied. Do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty hose that costs but lasts......~ c

Yes it is lead free it is all stainless. As far as we know. It works perfectly too. My husband used it to replace a plastic spigot in my glass sun tea jar, which I use every other day :)

The specifications for this faucet include the statement, "AB1953 Lead-free compliant". http://www.blanco-germany.com/en_us/en_us/search_usa/search_result.html?xsl=/en_us/en_us/search_usa/themen_results.xsl&lang=de&meta-search-text=440557

I believe it is lead free, though I am not positive. If it has any lead (unlikely) it would be in such small amounts that it could only matter if you were using the water for human consumption. I don't expect that you are passing water through the device and into your mouth. If you are, check with Wilkins.

I just became aware that lead is a problem in these crocks. I just had mine tested with an XRF gun and the result was 28ppm. I believe that is not a safe level... I'm sending mine back. I don't know if it came with a prop 65 warning b/c I already threw away all of the packaging.

It's made in America, I'm not sure about the lead content, if any, also not sure why they ship two, maybe one for the front yard and one for the back. It is well made and doesn't leak at all where it's attached to the hose, like the plastic ones.

This question would be better directed to the manufacturer, as I have no way of knowing the answer for sure. However, with the rigid restrictions on lead in paint and just about anything else we use, I would be very, very surprised if the hose does contain lead. It would probably be illegal. Also, the hose is quite flexible, and I should think it would be more rigid if it contained lead. Again, if it you want to know for absolutely sure, you probably should contact the manufacturer.

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

The hard plastic bottles were the things that had BPA in them. The reservoir is California Proposition 65 compliant and made of a different material. If Cali says it's safe I'd say it's safe.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

Yes. Our spigot is lead FREE. Lead is NOT an ingredient for stainless steel, unlike brass.

Yes, made of brass. Lead pipes are no longer legal for water systems from my understanding.

Regular garden hoses contain lead in the PVC used to make the hose itself and the brass fitting also contains lead. Studies have been done that show a large amount of lead leaches from the hose into the water as it passes through. It is best to buy lead-free hoses for both your RV and your garden. Here is a link to one study on garden hoses and chemicals present in a standard garden hose: http://www.healthystuff.org/findings.050312.garden.php

The material composition makeup of the hoses. The drinking safe hose states "Safe to drink" the regular garden hose states "Not safe to drink", some even say "Do not drink form". Since we live in an RV and drink form a hose every day I thought this feature was important.

Caution, most of the people answering here do not understand this question!(for the benefit of anybody having this question this year) This product, although good quality solid brass, do not comply with "Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act," more commonly known as the Lead Free law, went into effect on January 4, 2014. Most solid brass products needs certain amount of lead for manufacturing, amounts that are detrimental for health. The new national mandate requires that every pipe, fixture, and fitting used to convey water for potable use contain less than 0.25% of lead by weight.

I doubt it has lead since it's hooked up to your water supply but I'm not a plumber. Check with the manufacture.
