Lead free brass in metric measurement

Post by der wo »

Bushmann wanted us to start a new thread instead to discuss it in the welcome forum.

We are discussing about a hungarian still with brass solder unions.
This:

If they say, it's lead-free, are you sure they mean the brass, not the solder?
I don't trust. They would have to import lead-free brass from outside europe.
Edit: And an imported lead free brass fitting would not fit on metric pipes. I see on the pictures an "18" on the brass union. That means 18mm ID for a 18mm OD metric pipe.

If I were a still seller and had those lead free fittings, I would advertise like "our stills are lead free" "most other stills not".
