Lead Free Statement

PRIER continually monitors lead free legislation and requirements by the EPA, ASA and our certifying laboratories. PRIER’s products are listed and approved by UPC, IAPMO and ASSE.

PRIER’s valves are lead free that fall under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

From the letter of the law and its interpretation by certified testing bodies, PRIER's "hose threaded" products are exempt from the requirements. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires all plumbing valves used for potable water to meet a new standard of no more than .25% of wetted surfaces can contain leaded brass. The majority of PRIER's products meet this "exempt" status due to the fact each are for non-potable outdoor watering usage. PRIER's exempt parts will be labeled accordingly. In reviewing this law with the other "hose threaded valve" manufacturers, we are in like status.
