Does this hose contain lead?

I'm not sure but there is a warning on the box that says not to drink from it because it contains chemicals known to cause cancer.

Here is what I found: Virtually all brass has lead in it. Brass is composed of copper and zinc, and they throw some lead in it for machinability. The lead percentage varies, but is usually around 2%. It can be as high as 7%. The EPA and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) states that brass fittings used for human water consumption have to contain less than 8% to be safe and to be considered "lead-free." During the machining process, the lead acts as a lubricant. The end result is that a micro-thin layer of lead gets smeared over the machined surface. This amount should not cause concern, but it is possible to remove it if desired. Simply mix white distilled vinegar (5% acetic acid) with 3% hydrogen peroxide. You want it mixed in a 2-to-1 volume ratio. Immerse and swish the brass you are cleaning in this solution for approximately 10 minutes. It should change to a buttery yellow/gold color when it has been totally cleaned. If it starts to have a green/bluish color, it's been in too long, and you need to rinse and start over with fresh solution. You'll want to wear gloves or use tongs because the solution can irritate your skin. Hope this helps clarify things for you? Cheers. Alf

No it does not. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. Filters for lead-free water are NSF 53. For more info: http://www.nsf.org/services/by-industry/water-wastewater/residential-water-treatment/residential-drinking-water-treatment-standards/

There is no mention of lead. It is made with 100% "Spectra" fiber by Honewell. Maybe you can research that.

I have no idea but since it is made from Brass i would think it would be ok. No lead in Brass. I would assume any garden hose connection would be for potable water.

No,,, it has no lead... It's a all natural bug killer just make sure you get the "food Grade" and don't use it directly on your pets... There's a place somewhere on line that will tell you all about how to use it... Wonderful stuff it is... If you use it in your carpet don't walk on it before you vacuum it up,,, need to leave it at least 4 hours,,, also make sure it's dry outside when you dust your yard... Good luck......

Thank you for asking. It does not have lead as far as I know. It is very pretty. I have a cat and it doesn't seem to bother her.

No hoses have lead in them. To get to the leader hose it has to go through water pipes. Not sure what kind of water pipes (supply lines) you have. Jim

From the product description, it appears that all BRASS connectors do contain lead: Please note that this (and most all brass connectors sold here on Amazon as well as other retailers) contain a trace amount of lead to produce the brass.

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 :)

Yes, it does. Not sure what part of the tank has lead in it, but there is a distinct warning. Debating sending mine back due to this not being stated in the product description.

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

the paperwork state is 'solid copper', i have no reason to believe there is lead in it. The sink is lightweight and strong. hope this helps.

Melissa, I don't really know. I can't say 100% for sure it doesn't, but I believe it is lead-free.

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.
