Emerson Expands Lead-Free Valve Line for Compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act Regulations
ASCO™ valves simplify identification and replacement of existing valves with lead-free brass models.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.
(November 6, 2019) – Emerson has expanded the options available on its
ASCO lead-free brass solenoid valve line to enable original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) and contractors to comply with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA) Section 1417. The product line expansion includes larger pipe sizes (up
to 2 inches), normally open constructions, and Next Generation electronically
enhanced coil options with low-power and voltage-ranging features.
“Emerson now offers the broadest range of lead-free brass valves and options
for food and beverage, industrial energy and utilities, water and wastewater,
reverse osmosis filtration, marine, and plumbing applications,” said Erik
VanLaningham, vice president, marketing, industrial automation at Emerson.
“This range of choices will help preclude the necessity for OEMs to perform the
complex wetted surface area lead content calculation specified by the SDWA. In
addition, the embossed “LF” marking on our lead-free valves will make it much
easier for plumbing contractors and maintenance technicians to identify and
replace existing valves with lead-free models.”
