As regulations on lead content in potable water systems became stricter, alloys like C89836 bismuth bronze emerged as a lead-free alternative for plumbing and industrial applications. Erie Bronze & Aluminum specializes in sand casting C89836, offering high-quality, regulation-compliant castings for demanding environments. With a minimum 87% copper composition, C89836 replaces traditional leaded red and semi-red brasses, offering superior corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and mechanical strength while maintaining excellent castability.
C89833 bismuth brass alloy is compliant with the legislation included in the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the S.3874 Federal Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act, and is also compliant with international NSF/ANSI/CAN 61-2022 standards. It features a similar density to leaded alloys while remaining completely non-toxic with excellent casting properties and minimal post-casting machining required.
