Lead-Free Solutions
Providing manufacturers with more choices to meet lead content restrictions in potable water equipment.
Providing manufacturers with more choices to meet lead content restrictions in potable water equipment.
Regulations restricting lead content in devices used for potable water present new design issues for OEMs. Now, manufacturers have more lead-free choices with stainless steel and composite solenoid valve constructions. Emerson ASCO valves are NSF-approved, and come in the industry’s broadest ranges of pipe sizes, pressure and temperature ratings, and flow coefficients. The composite solenoid valve’s FasN™ connection system makes it fast and secure to use NPT thread, turn-and-lock, and solvent-bond fittings.
Case Study
A water chlorination system maker required NSF-rated lead-free valves to meet potable water regulations and reduce total cost of ownership. Emerson ASCO composite valves with the FasN™ connection system provided lead-free construction, 1 million-cycle reliability, plus reduced the customer’s manufacturing cost.
Case Study
A rain harvesting equipment maker’s vendor stopped producing NSF-rated composite solenoid valves. The Emerson ASCO composite valve’s size and flow rate exactly matched the customer’s specifications — enabling implementation with minimal changes to system design and without disrupting production.
