How to Identify Lead-Free Bronze Fittings
Lead-free bronze fittings can be identified by their markings, which are typically stamped or engraved onto the fitting. Here are some of the markings to look for:
"LF" or "Lead-Free": Lead-free bronze fittings are often marked with the letters "LF" or the words "Lead-Free" to indicate that they do not contain any lead.
"NSF/ANSI 61": Lead-free bronze fittings that meet the NSF/ANSI 61 standard for drinking water system components will be marked with this designation. This indicates that the fitting has been tested and certified to be safe for use in drinking water systems.
"ASTM B584": This is the standard specification for lead-free bronze fittings, and fittings that meet this specification will be marked with this designation.
"C69300" or "C87850": These are the alloy designations for lead-free bronze fittings. Fittings made from these alloys will be marked with the appropriate designation.
"Made in the USA": Some manufacturers of lead-free bronze fittings may also mark their products with "Made in the USA" to indicate that they are produced domestically and meet local standards and regulations.
CC499K is a type of lead-free bronze alloy that is commonly used in the manufacture of fittings for plumbing and other applications where water or other liquids are conveyed. Here are some advantages of using CC499K lead-free bronze fittings:
No lead content: CC499K is a lead-free alloy, which means that it does not contain any of the harmful heavy metals that can leach into drinking water and pose a health risk.
Corrosion-resistant: CC499K is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in harsh environments or applications where water quality is poor. This corrosion resistance helps to prolong the lifespan of the fittings and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements.
High strength and durability: CC499K lead-free bronze fittings are strong and durable, able to withstand high pressures and temperature fluctuations without cracking or leaking. This makes them suitable for use in demanding applications.
Easy to work with: CC499K lead-free bronze fittings are easy to machine and work with, making them ideal for use in custom applications or when modifications are required on-site.
Meets international standards: CC499K lead-free bronze fittings meet international standards for safety and performance, including the NSF/ANSI 61 standard for drinking water system components. This ensures that they are safe for use in drinking water systems and other applications where water quality is critical.
These advantages make them a reliable and cost-effective choice for plumbing and other fluid conveyance applications.
