Import Tips
• Provide CAD drawings showing compatibility with standard gate valve bodies to distinguish from generic rods
• Ensure lead-free certification if destined for potable water systems to meet EPA compliance
• Declare exact brass alloy (e.g
• C83600) to avoid reclassification as copper alloy waste or scrap
