There have been recent changes in federal legislation regarding the use of lead in fittings & valves used in potable water systems. Viega, the leader in zero lead compliance has offered products that exceed these new standards for more than 20 years. Viega provides simple, quality solutions to meet the new low-lead requirements federal and state governments have been enacting across the country. In fact, Viega was the only manufacturer fully prepared for the original compliance date.
When specifying Viega products for water systems, look for the following markings:
- Labeling and installation instructions of compliant products will contain a notice stating: “This product contains Zero Lead.”
- Viega PEX products will be marked with “cNSF®us pw-G” or “NSF/ANSI 61-G” to indicate Zero Lead compliance. In some cases, where the fitting is too small to accommodate that marking, a “Z” will denote the product’s compliance.
- Viega ManaBloc, Viega PEX Press polymer and Viega PEX Crimp PolyAlloy fittings do not require special markings because these products are inherently Zero Lead.
- Viega ProPress Zero Lead bronze products will be marked with NSF 61-G and copper products will continue to be marked NSF-61.
