API International manufactures a full line of NSF-61/372 certified stainless flanges, including ANSI/ASME Class 150 and AWWA Class D & E configurations in dual grades 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel. We can review any custom products to determine if they fall within the scope of our NSF listing. Every part is manufactured domestically and evaluated to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for health effects and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 for lead content. These are the two standards nearly every U.S. state and Canadian province require for drinking water components.
Evaluating Chemical Leaching
How much lead is present
Independently tested and audited
API International has launched CleanLine, a new line of NSF-certified products developed for drinking-water and clean-water applications. CleanLine products are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking-water system health effects and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 for lead-content requirements.
Explore CleanLine
Health Effects Scope
Evaluates the full range of chemical contaminants a product might leach into drinking water, not lead content specifically.
Lead Content Scope
Verifies a single, critical requirement: a maximum weighted-average lead content of 0.25%, the federal lead-free definition.
What Most Buyers Actually Need
With limited exemptions, products certified to NSF-61 must also meet NSF-372, which is why a genuinely certified flange carries both marks together.
U.S. States and Canadian Provinces and Territories have legislation, regulations, or policies requiring compliance with, or certification to, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for components that contact drinking water.
Still have a question about NSF-61/372 certification or how it applies to your project? Contact our team.
NSF-61 evaluates whether a product leaches contaminants into drinking water above acceptable levels. NSF-372 verifies the product's lead content meets the federal 0.25% weighted-average lead-free threshold. Both are required together in nearly every case.
Yes. Both flange families are evaluated to the same standards when built for potable water applications, regardless of whether they follow ANSI/ASME B16.5 or AWWA C207 dimensional specifications.
304L and 316L stainless steel, selected for corrosion resistance and compatibility with NSF-61/372 lead-content requirements.
Yes. Every flange in the CleanLine product line is manufactured in the United States.
NSF maintains a public, searchable database of certified products and systems by manufacturer, product line, size, and material grade, so a certification claim can always be checked directly rather than taken at face value.
