A question about brass fittings
Do the latest brass fittings 3/4 tee still pose a threat from lead
If so how would you pickle them
I have to build something for a mate that will require 40% neutral to be in contact with brass tees

What is it your making? Perhaps a pic or description and someone can come up with another solution that doesn't involve brass.

They are very fragile and those compression fittings will break it.
Go for the porthole type that we use for bubbler modules.
