We’re changing for good, and that includes a fresh new look!

 

The New Zealand Building Code has been amended to require any product that contains copper alloy and is intended for use in contact with potable water for human consumption to be lead free.

 

Throughout 2024, we focused on transitioning our products to meet these requirements, successfully launching a Lead-Free Combi Pack to address demand. Now, we are prepared to transition our entire range

Starting early 2025, Apex Valves packaging will be updated to reflect the improvements made to our products. These changes are designed to help you easily identify Lead-Free products on store shelves, in your van, and once installed.

These changes are just the beginning. More plumbing products will undergo updates throughout 2025, ensuring you always have access to lead-free options.
