All internal water-carrying tubing inside Westinghouse Instant Hot Water Dispensers is made from high-grade, food-safe, BPA-free silicone. Silicone is used because it safely handles near-boiling temperatures, does not affect taste or odour, and is highly durable over thousands of heating cycles.

In some specific areas, such as the dispenser spout or precision valve components, heat-rated plastic or metal may be used. These parts must remain rigid and accurately shaped, which makes silicone unsuitable for those applications. All materials used meet relevant food-contact and appliance safety standards and are selected to ensure safe, reliable, and consistent performance.
