I was thinking of the Screwfix catalogue that lists a number of Pegler fittings as being 'low lead contact' (sic.). When I Googled Pegler "low lead" brass, I got a link to a Tectite 1/4 turn valve. It is made of CW625N-DW brass which (Google again) is apparently 1.2-1.5% lead.
I know an old plumber who insists lead-free solder is far too brittle to be of any use whatsoever outside a college environment and will always cause leaks. This is the same person who once spent several hours trying to convince a friend of mine that gravity and magnetism were the same thing... thinking of it, I think I might stop using lead even on heating systems.
