The No Lead line, denoted by option “-CA,”
contains less than 0.25 percent lead. Speakman

In
response to lead-free laws in California and Vermont, commercial plumbing
manufacturer Speakman began converting its faucet products to lead-free in
early 2009 and to date has 85 percent of the plumbing products which should
meet lead-free compliance converted. The No Lead line, denoted by option “-CA,”
contains less than 0.25 percent lead while still maintaining the high quality
expected from Speakman products.
Speakman
also has converted many of the popular sensor faucets to lead-free. “While
there is still some confusion in the industry as to the requirements for sensor
faucets to be certified, Speakman felt it was a necessary to have a No Lead
sensor faucet product line,” saidBill Walbrandt,
director of commercial plumbing for Speakman. “It is a benefit we felt our
customers deserved, so they could feel confident that the products they bought
and specified would meet the standard, and besides, if it doesn’t cost anymore,
why not choose the No Lead alternative?”
To
support ongoing efforts to educate the market about lead-free products,
Speakman has created a“No Lead” sectionon the company Web site, which
explains more about what it means to be lead-free, provides answers to
frequently asked questions about No Lead products, and links to the No Lead
product offering.
