- throwaway290 4y agoAnd even worse, have pesticides and other stuff from pipe surroundings leech through plastic into water.
- Scoundreller 4y agoit's funny because you can make the same arguments against freshly brazed lead connections on copper pipes. And those "low lead fixtures" aren't lead-free.
- ericd 4y agoDoes plumbing solder still contain lead?
- Scoundreller 4y agohrmmm, looks like plumbing solder has been banned (for sale I guess) since 1986 in USA and since 1990 in Canada. US regs are specific to potable water lines, so unclear how available it is. (Wouldn't be surprised if plumbers stocked up on several years worth prior to the bans).
- ericd 4y agoOh good to know, thanks for looking that up.
