Viega ProPress –
delivers safe, clean drinking water
The amount of lead in drinking water has been regulated by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under the guidelines of the Federal
Safe Drinking Water Act established in 1974. On January 4, 2011, the Federal
Drinking Water Act was amended by Senate Bill 3874 to require not more than
a weighted average of 0.25 percent lead when used with respect to the wetted
surfaces of pipes, pipe ttings and xtures.
The new requirements for drinking water will take effect January, 2014. Viega
ProPress copper and Zero Lead bronze products currently meet the new Federal
requirements. Viega is committed to producing the safest, most reliable ttings
for use in potable water systems.
January 1, 2010, California’s AB 1953 and Vermont’s Act 193 went into effect
mandating that all potable water products, including pipe and plumbing ttings,
contain no more than 0.25 percent lead. In January 2012, Maryland will require
plumbing codes to be updated to enforce this requirement.
Viega ProPress copper and ProPress Zero Lead bronze products currently meet
the 2014 Federal requirements.
Zero Lead identifies Viega products meeting the lead free requirements of California and Vermont law, effective
January 1, 2010, as tested and listed against NSF 61, Annex G. For more detailed information on Zero Lead issues and
