Tested with an XRF instrument.
All yellow brass hose and gardening components I have tested have been very high lead like this one (and also can have contaminants like mercury and arsenic.)

Hello, are you familiar with or have you tested Eley hose attachments? They use a lead-free eco brass inside and out and it’s drinking water safe. Thank you.
I am not familiar with that brand. If you would like to send something in for testing and reporting on this website, here’s how that works:
