Plumbing From Northern Tool?

Are the plumbing parts from Northern Tool reef safe? I'm specifically talking about the black union ball valves with the blue handles. They are plastic, have a polypropylene gasket, and have standard thread.

I imagine they are, I just want to be 100% sure before installing them on my tank. Anybody using these?

Okay, one last try and Im giving up.

Has no one ever purchased plumbing parts from Northern Tool?

Not I. I am still trying to find a good sturdy bulkhead that will not break like some say they do, lol.

See if they are label as safe for potable water? That would be my only guess on it really, never used so I don't know.
