Sioux Chief is offering a technical bulletin on No Lead Product Handling Recommendations & Chemical Compatibility for Products Commonly Used in Plumbing Systems. The document particularly focuses on soldering No Lead brass, which requires a different method than traditional alloys prior to The Reduction of Lead In Drinking Water Act.
Rough plumbing manufacturer, Sioux Chief, posted a technical bulletin that focuses on soldering No Lead brass, which requires a different method than traditional alloys prior to The Reduction of Lead In Drinking Water Act.
Many No Lead or lead-free alloys use special chemicals in their composition, making heat diffusion more difficult. As a result, it is more challenging for solder to adhere to No Lead silicon brass than to traditional leaded brass. For No Lead brass, a different procedure is required to make common plumbing solder joints.
In the past, the presence of lead in a fitting allowed a torch’s heat to transfer thermally within a fitting, allowing the solder to flow quicker and more uniformly. Today, contractors and tradesmen deal with many No Lead alloys and specifically silicon alloys that do not act the same way.
If proper procedures are not followed, joints may be compromised resulting in leaks and future issues. Reference Sioux Chief’s Tech Bulletin on soldering No Lead brass (TB 8-15-13) or Sioux Chief’s Tech Bulletin on the material differences between commonly available No Lead alloys.
Sioux Chief’s No Lead alloys, by nature of their alloying elements, achieve higher dezincification resistance and stress corrosion cracking resistance, but must be treated with greater care when soldering.
KOHLER, Wis. – Lighting in the home has moved from simply functional overhead fixtures to uniquely designed lamps, above and below cabinet lighting, motion-sensored and timed devices, even in-floor lighting.

KOHLER, Wis. – Lighting in the home has moved from simply functional overhead fixtures to uniquely designed lamps, above and below cabinet lighting, motion-sensored and timed devices, even in-floor lighting. Every space in the home has its own type of secondary light source, and now with the launch of the Kohler Nightlight toilet seat, so does the toilet.
“Typically overhead lights are bright because daytime tasks call for well-lit spaces. But accessing the bathroom at night is a different story,” says Jerry Bougher, marketing manager for Kohler toilet seats. “One of the fastest ways to ruin your chances of getting back to sleep easily is to turn on a harsh, bright overhead light in the bathroom. The Nightlight toilet seat offers a soft, non-disruptive alternative.”
The new Nightlight seat features a lighted hinge, illuminating the toilet space sufficiently to allow homeowners to leave the overhead lights off while using the bathroom at night – creating a soft ambiance in comparison to overhead lights. Nightlight casts enough light to allow homeowners easy use of the bathroom space.
Additionally, the Nightlight seat runs on a seven-hour timer, allowing the light to be on during the night and off during the day when it is not needed.
The Nightlight feature is offered on the popular Kohler Cachet and Reveal seat models, in both elongated and round front. Both toilet seats come with Kohler’s Grip-Tight Q3 features: bumpers on the seat that help reduce seat shifting, quiet-close seat and lid with quick-release hinges allow seat to close quietly and unlatch from the toilet for easy removal and convenient cleaning, and quick-attach hardware for fast and secure installation.
