Buteline 100% Polymer (No Brass) Plumbing System

A 100% Polymer (No Brass) Plumbing System

Buteline pipe and fittings do not corrode or leach harmful substances, do not get scale build-up, and do not affect water taste or quality.

We have also developed several polymer alternatives to traditional brass fittings that are not only environmentally-better but also give you potential cost saving of up to 45%! 

Polymers are free from toxic substances like arsenic and lead, while it is widely established that lead is often added to brass for enhanced machinability during manufacture. Polymers therefore not only offer peace of mind in terms of hygiene and health, but are also arguably better for the environment.

Concerns in the United States have led to a bill in California being passed for brass pipes, fittings and fixtures to be ‘lead-free’ (contain less than 0.25% lead), starting from January 1, 2010 (Free, M., Production Machining, May 09).

In response to this, some manufacturers have been using substitute ingredients such as silicon or bismuth. While these are allegedly less toxic than lead, they are more expensive, and scrap that contains these additions are not be mixed with leaded brass scrap during the recycling process due to safety and contamination issues.

Trust in your 100% polymer system - the Buteline Plumbing System is a proven hygienic, non-toxic, environmentally friendly solution for the conveyance of clean drinking water.
