As Lead Free Becomes Law, Matco-Norca Leads the Way..
Matco-Norca announces certified lead free products and help complying with new Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act that took effect January 4.

As of January 4, 2014, the federal government has mandated that all pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures shall not have more than 0.25% lead with respect to the wetted surface area of products used in potable water applications. As a leading supplier of valves and fittings, Matco-Norca offers a complete line of lead free products that meet or exceed the criteria of the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (Federally mandated Public Law 111-380).

The enactment of the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act has three key implications. First, it is now illegal to install non-compliant products in potable water systems, while it is the responsibility of state and local governments to enforce the new regulations through applicable local plumbing codes. Lastly, penalties for non-compliance could range from the forced removal of products to punitive fines and/or private lawsuits.
