Lead free, eh?
As a baby, I chewed on paint tainted with lead. I ate dirt tainted with lead and other chemicals out of the yard. As an older child, I went on family vacations in the back of a green, Chevrolet station wagon over thousands of miles with no seat belts and no child restraints. They didn't exist then. As a young pre-teen hooligan, I jumped upon passing railroad freight trains for a ride to the local lakes and I rode them back home at the end of the day! I jumped off of 50 foot bridges into rivers of murk and I slept in a cabin all through my high school years without running water and only an outhouse for a place to poop. When I was younger, I navigated the river in a flat bottomed boat down the Platte River in Nebraska for several weeks alone, living on berries and catfish and rabbits and squirrels and fresh water clams and crayfish.
I have been hit by a Union Pacific train, shot at six or seven times, hit once, run over by a semi-tractor trailer, nearly drowned by a native girl from Nairobi because she freaked out in the Platte River on an inner tube trip, I was electrocuted, fell down a 60 foot ravine and got my ass kicked by people I never knew.
So don't get this wrong! The lead contained in any plumbing product manufactured today is immaterial. Except in the state of California, (where everything causes cancer and birth defects in lab rats) and the EPA won't allow you to harvest rain water.
Hee Hee!
