Steve I used this from the CDC: (I’ll sure try to do better next time!)

Congress banned lead solder containing greater than 0.2% lead and restricted the lead content of faucets, pipes, and other plumbing materials to no more than 8%

I see what you are stating just now from EPA:

In 1986 Congress Amended the Safe Drinking Water Act, prohibiting the use of pipes, solder or flux that were not “lead free” in public water systems or plumbing in facilities providing water for human consumption. At the time "lead free” was defined as solder and flux with no more than 0.2% lead and pipes with no more than 8%.
In 2011 Congress passed the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (RLDWA) revising the definition of lead free by lowering the maximum lead content of the wetted surfaces of plumbing products (such as pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures) from 8% to a weighted average of 0.25%, establishing a statutory method for the calculation of lead content and eliminating the requirement that lead free products be in compliance with voluntary standards established in accordance with SDWA 1417(e) for leaching of lead from new plumbing fittings and fixtures.

Now ya talkin’. I not only framed my first house when Roy Clark made that video in 1976, that’s the year I picked up my first guitar. I’m more of a Clapton/Page kind of guy, I appreciate all forms when it comes to pickin

I’m sure you’re familiar with Joe Bonamassa? I can’t get enough of him - even as a drummer! The man is a legend at his young age.

That’s driving music. It’ll get ya through hours 8 thru 10, from Green River to Cedar city. Just what the Dr. ordered
