Commercial projects need more than a tap they need the correct handle type, material, and compliance pathway for the specific environment. Gentec’s CLEANLINE commercial tapware range covers three clearly defined families: Capstan Tapware for schools, public amenities, and general commercial washrooms where traditional round-handle operation is required and accessibility is not mandated; Cleanline Lead-Free Brass Lever Tapware for accessible bathrooms, healthcare, and commercial projects requiring DDA/AS 1428.1-aligned lever operation and NCC 2022 lead-free compliance; and GPURE® Cleanline Grade 316 Stainless Steel Lever Tapware for hospitals, aged care, and hygiene-critical environments where zero-lead construction, laminar flow, and maximum corrosion resistance are clinical requirements. Every product across all three families carries Lead Free WaterMark certification, a WELS water-efficiency rating, and compliance with AS/NZS 3718 and AS/NZS 4020, backed by a commercial warranty. Use the comparison below to identify the correct specification pathway for your project.

What is the difference between capstan and lever tapware?
Which Gentec tapware supports DDA/AS1428.1 compliance?
Both the Cleanline Lead-Free Brass Lever and GPURE® Cleanline Grade 316 Stainless Lever operation when installed per the standard’s guidelines. Capstan tapware does not comply with DDA/AS1428.1 and cannot be used in accessible bathrooms.
Are Gentec CLEANLINE tapware products compliant with NCC 2022 lead-free requirements?
Yes. All Gentec CLEANLINE lead-free brass and stainless products carry Lead Free WaterMark certification confirming compliance with the NCC 2022 lead-free standard – mandatory for all tapware in contact with drinking water from 1 May 2026. Documentation is available for project records.
When should Grade 316 stainless steel tapware be specified instead of lead-free brass?
Grade 316 stainless steel lever tapware (GPURE® Cleanline) should be specified for hospitals, aged care facilities, pathology laboratories, food-processing environments, and any space where clinical infection-control standards require zero lead content and laminar flow at the outlet. Lead-free brass lever tapware is appropriate for accessible bathrooms, general healthcare facilities, and public amenities where clinical-grade hygiene is not mandated.
What WELS ratings do Gentec CLEANLINE tapware products carry?
Gentec CLEANLINE tapware is available in 4-star, 5-star, and 6-star WELS ratings depending on the product variant. All products carry current WELS registrations. Specific ratings and registration numbers are on individual product datasheets, available from the Gentec technical team
