The complacency with California’s and Vermont’s low-lead legislation means that the lead content of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures are low. The checkmark on each packaging is the confirmation that the product is 100% compliant with the California and Vermont legislation.
Since the enactment of this legislation in 2007, Hansgrohe has been preparing for the anticipated change through product development and availability. Nicolas Grohe, director of marketing and product development for North America, explains, “Our launch schedule was designed to give plumbing professionals adequate time to adjust their inventories before the law’s effective date of January 1, 2010. As a 108 year old company specialized in plumbing products with manufacturing facilities in the USA, Europe and Asia, we are dedicated to providing compliant plumbing solutions.”
Founded in 1901, Hansgrohe specializes in bathroom and kitchen fixtures; showers and shower systems; as well as thermostat, pressure balance and ceramic cartridge technology.
