Valves are essential for safety and efficiency in equipment operation, but they can be harmful if they contain improper lead content. Lead is a toxic substance, and breathing in or ingesting lead particles can cause lead poisoning and other serious health risks, especially in children. Lead in valves and piping can contaminate the media that flows through them, such as water. This is a big concern for public health, so lead free valves and pipes are recommended to eliminate these risks.
At RED-WHITE VALVE CORP., we manufacture a wide range of products using the highest-quality lead free alloys available. Every lead free valve is thoroughly tested and certified by a third-party laboratory to ensure safety and adherence to health standards.
Common types of Lead free valves include:
Lead free ball valves have spherical discs that control liquid or gas flow through a port by rotating to open or close the fluid passageway. Our lead free ball valves offer tight shut-off, with a maximum operating temperature of 160 °F and a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi. Different sizes are available to accommodate various flow rates.
Our lead free press ball valves are created from dezincification-resistant (DZR) brass. With blow-out-proof stems and adjustable packing, these lead free valves are suitable for a range of heavy-duty uses.
DZR lead free brass manual balancing valves’ multi-turn adjustment capabilities allow four full turns minimum. This valve also features positive shut-off with memory stop and can allow water to flow at temperatures between 15 °F to 260 °F. These valves are ideal for domestic water and HVAC applications.
Lead free gate valves control or stop water flow using a wedge or disc attached to a rotating stem. The valves offer a secure seal to stop gas or liquid flow and are ideal for applications where the stream contains other media.
Lead free check valves automatically close when fluid reverses direction to prevent backflow. They have threaded end connections to ease installation and are suitable for applications that supply water for human consumption, including residential and commercial construction.
A lead free butterfly valve is great for flow regulation in larger piping systems where ball or gate valve designs may not be the most suitable choice. A quick quarter-turn operation of the disc can achieve effective flow control, making butterfly valves ideal for applications requiring rapid flow adjustments or shut-off.
Other common types of lead free valves include lead free boiler drain valves, lead free pump flange valves, and lead free PEX valves.
