Lead-free brass, containing less than 0.25% lead, is crucial for reducing lead exposure in plumbing systems. It helps ensure safe, clean drinking water and protects public health, especially for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women.
 

Lead has been a common material in plumbing systems for many years due to its malleability and durability. However, growing awareness of the health risks associated with lead exposure has led to stricter regulations on its use in plumbing materials. In the United States, a law enacted in 2010 restricts the amount of lead in brass plumbing products to 0.25%, and Kwang Woon is proud to manufacture and supply products that meet these stringent standards.

What is Lead-Free Brass?
Lead-free brass refers to brass products that contain less than 0.25% lead. According to California state law AB153, any brass material with a lead content below this threshold is considered lead-free. This regulation is designed to protect public health by minimizing the risk of lead contamination in drinking water, particularly in homes, schools, and hospitals.

Why is Lead-Free Brass Important?
Lead exposure can have serious health effects, especially in children and pregnant women. Even small amounts of lead in drinking water can lead to developmental issues, kidney damage, and other long-term health problems. By reducing the amount of lead in plumbing materials, lead-free brass helps to protect the health of individuals who rely on safe, clean water.
