CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

(Plumber: California law requires that this warning be given to the consumer.)

CONSUMER INFORMATION ABOUT CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

All faucets and products made of leaded brass alloys, even those that comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

regulations, contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. This product

complies with all E.P.A. regulations regarding the amount of lead used in plumbing brass and solder. The amount of lead

contributed by any faucet/product is highest when the faucet/product is new.

The following steps will reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts of the plumbing system:

•

Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking.

•

Use only cold water for drinking or cooking.

•

If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing

in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the

water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main.

•

If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by an

EPA-certified laboratory in your area.

Sizes 3/4" to 2"
