if it is NSF 61 approved then yes, to be nsf 61 approved the brass must be lead free, which I doubt it is

if you can provide documentation as to lead content you will be ok

but, the air hose tubing is not approved, you will have to use a pex or copper, pvc

Air fittings are 1/4" NPT on the other side of the quick release interface, so there is no need to use traditional air hoses.

Is the lead content enough to cause a concern for personal use (not commercial)?

I was more concerned about the quick release mechanism having iron/steel components and rusting or the fact that water pressure is much lower than air pressure typically used with these fittings, resulting in a leak due to the quick release connection not closing correctly.
