Matco-Norca Announces New Lead
Free Plumbing Website.
Businesses rushing to
fulfill the requirements of Public Law 111-380 (Reduction of
Lead in Drinking Water Act) for lead free plumbing supplies for
potable water, which comes into effect January 4th, 2014, can
turn to Matco-Norca’s new lead free plumbing website to get all
the information and supplies they need. In addition to
Matco-Norca’s certified lead free valves, fittings, faucets, and
plumbing specialties, the site offers help with compliance and
transition needs.
“In addition to providing customers with extensive information
concerning the new law,” said Melissa Hunt, Matco-Norca’s
Marketing Manager, “the new lead free website reflects the many
measures we have already implemented to ensure compliance.
Starting more than two years ago, we conducted several surveys
to learn what customers would need not only during the
transition but for on-going support as well. As a result, our
lead free products and processes are ahead of the curve and
represent the highest quality. Not only are our products tested,
re-tested and certified lead free, but they are marked for easy
lead free identification as well.” Story continues below v

The new Transition section
of the site is designed to make transition easier for
customers by demonstrating the many measures Matco-Norca has
taken on their behalf. Among those listed, are the ways in
which parts are easily identified. Matco-Norca worked with
its factories to incorporate into the mold the LF identifier
found on its lead free parts, as well as notating the
appropriate 3rd party approval. They also simplified
ordering by keeping the part number the same with the mere
addition of LF to identify it as lead free. Other easy
identifiers include green color-coded handles and levers and
custom branded Matco-Norca lead free packaging labels used
exclusively for shipping its lead free products. To ensure
only lead free products get into those boxes, orders are
fulfilled in a special section of Matco-Norca’s warehouse
reserved exclusively for its lead free products.
“New laws are always stressful for businesses,” added Hunt.
“We want customers to know we understand what they need and
are willing and able to deliver. Customers can always check
the site to learn about new products or updates to the law.
To help customers with specific transition needs or any
questions about the law, we’ve also set up a Lead Free
Hotline at 800-431-2082. Bottom line: the new lead free
website is designed to help customers through all aspects of
compliance as this new law comes into effect and expands,
including searching, identifying, and purchasing lead free
plumbing products with confidence.”
