California AB 1953 (or Vermont S152 for a Vermont query) limits the
allowable amount of lead content in pipes, ttings, and plumbing
xtures used to convey drinking to a maximum of .25% on wetted
surfaces. This is less than in most states whose standards are
based on the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, an eective
standard for making drinking water safe.
The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Ocials
(IAPMO) Shield is applied to products that are certied by IAPMO
as complying with BOTH the product’s performance standard
AND the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). Applies to all plumbing
products, appliances, pipe, xtures, valves, and related products.
Products with the cUPC® mark are in compliance with applicable
American and Canadian codes and standards.
The NSF 61 standard establishes minimum health eects
requirements for materials, components, products, or systems that
contact drinking water, drinking water chemicals, or both.
Products and materials subject to NSF 61 include process
media, protective materials, joining and sealing materials, pipes
and related products, mechanical devices used with treatment/
transmission/distribution systems, and mechanical plumbing
devices. All Kraus products are to be installed in accordance with
manufacturing instruction to ensure NSF61 compliance.
The California Green Building Standard Code, also known as
CALGreen, encourages more sustainable and environmentally
friendly building practices for the health and safety of our future.
Requirements place limits on substances that can cause harm to
our environment, encourage conservation of our natural resources,
and promote the use of ecient materials and equipment.
The NSF 372 standard allows for the application of lead content
evaluation procedures on products beyond the scope of NSF/ANSI
61. Certication denotes compliance with the lead-free requirement
standard: the wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe ttings, plumbing
ttings, and plumbing xtures must meet a weighted average lead
content of no more than 0.25%
DOE’s certication and compliance activities ensure accurate
and comprehensive information about the energy and water use
characteristics of products sold in the United States.
All ADA-compliant products comply with the applicable ADA
Accessibility Guidelines. Compliant products are designed
to improve safety, comfort, and ease of use for persons with
disabilities or limited mobility. Requirements for xtures include
controls that do not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of
the wrist to operate. Fixtures that meet the requirements must be
installed according to ADA Standards to maintain compliance.
The 2013 International Plumbing Code (IPC) provides innovative
plumbing regulations, addressing both prescriptive and
performance-based objectives. A wide selection of support
references developed by code experts will assist designers,
inspectors, plans examiners, contractors, installers, instructors,
students, and others who use the 2013 IPC.

a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute can reduce a sink’s water ow
by 30 percent or more from the standard ow of 2.2 gallons per
minute without sacricing performance.
