PLA is used for food so it should be fine.


Polylactic acid doesn't throw up any hits on the WRAS approved
materials web site search engine. That means it can't be used on
potable water supplies without somebody paying to have it approved.

As is PETG.


Nor does that.


Funny they can make bottles from it and put food stuff in it but can't
use it for water fittings...


It is more that nobody has seen a use for it, so nobody has paid to have
it tested for approval.
