Uponor is again leading the way in revolutionary technology with the introduction of the first ever complete lead-free plumbing system offering. This offering includes a comprehensive line of lead-free brass transition fittings and valves along with our advanced engineered plastic (EP) products and out-of-the-wall systems for an all-inclusive lead-free solution from the inlet to the faucet.*
By being the first to offer a complete lead-free plumbing system, we are staying true to our pioneering history of bringing innovative technologies for comfort, consistency and peace of mind to millions of people across the globe. With more than 12 billion feet of PEX tubing in service worldwide, we want to ensure our products and systems continue to bring consistent results for service, dependability and reliability.
And now, with our new lead-free offering, you can feel confident knowing your system is not only the most widely used PEX plumbing system in the market, it’s also the safest.
Safe For Your Whole Environment
Our lead-free plumbing systems exceed the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and meet California lead-free legislation to ensure your potable water is consistently safe, clean and healthy. And because Uponor plumbing systems do not use torches, glues or solvents like traditional rigid systems, it provides another win for the environment — keeping dangerous chemicals out of our plumbing systems and groundwater.
