## Common ground
Both options are types of weights used to secure faucets or hoses, typically preventing movement or drift.
## Options at a glance
**7325.99 – Made of iron or steel**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from ferrous metal, offering moderate weight and corrosion resistance with lower density than lead.
- **Typical examples:** Steel sink weights, iron hose anchors.
- **Best fit when:** Durability and moderate weight are needed; environment is not highly corrosive.
**7806.00 – Made of lead**
- **Defining trait:** Uses lead for high density and superior weight per volume, ideal for heavy-duty or compact applications.
- **Typical examples:** Lead faucet anchors, heavy-duty hose weights.
- **Best fit when:** Maximum weight in small size is required; used in industrial or marine settings.
## Key differences
| Feature | 7325.99 (Iron/Steel) | 7806.00 (Lead) |
|------------------|------------------------|------------------------|
| Density | Lower | Very high |
| Weight per volume| Moderate | High |
| Corrosion resistance | Better | Poor (leads to contamination risk) |
| Common use | General household | Heavy-duty, compact |
## How to choose
- Is the weight needed for a small, compact space? → 7806.00
- Does the environment involve water exposure or require long-term durability? → 7325.99
- Is maximum weight per unit size critical? → 7806.00
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product could fit both if it’s a heavy-duty hose weight made of lead but also has steel components (e.g., casing). However, the primary material determines classification. Lead weights are not suitable for potable water systems due to toxicity risks. If the product is used in drinking water applications, avoid 7806.00. The main function—weight and application context—should determine the choice
