Brass Pipe Fitting, 2 x 1-1/2 Inch Hex Bushing

Correct, this hex bushing is crafted from lead-free brass, ensuring it meets safety standards for potable water applications and compliance with regulations.

Lead-free brass is the same durable, corrosion-resistant material you'd expect from a quality fitting, just formulated without lead content. That matters a lot in systems where the fitting might come into contact with potable water or where local codes require lead-free compliance. For general industrial use, you'll get the same solid performance either way. The corrosion resistance holds up well, and the longevity you got out of your last one should carry over with this version.
