Law signed by algore's best friend obama...makes the lead free faucet rules FEDERAL. Phase in started, deadline is 3 years ( Jan 2014)
Obviously the manufacturer's saw this coming which is why ALL the brands have been migrating most or all of their product line to lead free.
As an aside, I have a pic which I will post tomorrow. It is of the bottom of 2 lav faucets, one PP, 1 Delta. BOTH show an IDENTICAL, very unique configuration of assorted lead free components.. I will post the pic and ask you if there is ANY POSSIBILITY that that they are not made in the same chinese factory! Film at 11:00~
The threaded shanks are brass, lined with plastic. The waterway body, the side towards the camera, feels like metal, but does not seem to be brass. That waterway body is a 2 piece, and the upper half IS plastic. The internal waterway up to the spout is also plastic.
The faucet on the left is a Price Pfister, and the one on the right is Delta.
