Lead-Free Brass Bar — Silicon & Bismuth Grades for Potable Water
Our lead-free brass bars meet NSF/ANSI 61 & 372, California AB1953 and EU Regulation 31, offering leaded-brass-level machinability without the lead. Ideal for valves, faucets and drinking-water fittings.
About This Alloy Family
Lead-free brasses replace the machinability contribution of lead with silicon or bismuth, delivering excellent CNC performance, high strength and superior dezincification resistance. They are the compliant choice wherever brass contacts drinking water.
