CLEANLINE Lead Free Brass Tapware

Which tapware is right for my project?

Choose Cleanline lead-free brass lever tapware if…

• You need DDA/AS1428.1-aligned lever operation for an accessible bathroom or healthcare facility
• The environment is an accessible public bathroom, healthcare centre, education facility, or aged care setting
• NCC 2022 lead-free compliance (≤0.25% lead) is required and Lead Free WaterMark certification is needed
• A cost-effective lever solution is preferred over full stainless steel 100mm or 150mm lever handles are required to meet accessible design guidelines

Choose GPURE® Cleanline Grade 316 stainless lever tapware instead if…

• Zero-lead (0.00%) Grade 316 stainless steel is required for clinical infection-control compliance
• The environment is a hospital, aged care facility with formal infection-control specifications, pathology, or food-processing
• Laminar flow at the outlet is required to reduce aerosol in clinical hand-wash contexts
• Maximum corrosion resistance is required for chlorinated, coastal, or aggressive water supplies

Choose Capstan Tapware instead if…

Why specifiers choose Cleanline lead-free brass lever tapware

• Lead-free brass is the correct specification for the majority of accessible bathroom projects in Australia — not a compromise. In education, public buildings, hospitality, and general healthcare, the infection-control requirements that mandate Grade 316 stainless are not in force. Specifying Grade 316 in these environments adds cost without adding compliance value; Cleanline Lead-Free Brass delivers DDA/AS1428.1-aligned lever operation and NCC 2022 potable water compliance at the appropriate specification level.

• The 150mm lever is not just a longer handle — it changes what the fixture can achieve in an accessible bathroom. For hand-wash basins mounted at lower heights, or where the basin sits behind an overhang, the longer lever arm reduces the operating force and extends the reach envelope to meet AS1428.1 requirements. Many specifiers use 100mm levers by default and discover the issue at practical completion — Gentec’s 150mm option is available off the shelf across the CLLF range.

• NCC 2022 Lead Free WaterMark certification is held on every CLLF model currently in the range. This is not a pending approval or a batch-specific certificate — certification applies to the product range and is current at date of supply. Specifiers requesting compliance documentation for project sign-off will receive a current certificate, not a statement of intent.
• Chrome-plated lead-free DZR brass has a longer documented service life in hard-water and moderate-use environments than polished stainless. For a school or community centre washroom cycling through 200–300 uses per day, the CLLF range has a 20-year-plus field record in Australian conditions. The same-cost stainless alternative is over-specified for that duty cycle and environment.
• WELS water-efficiency ratings from 4-star to 6-star are available across the CLLF range – specifiers can select the correct rating for the project’s Green Star, NABERS, or water-authority requirements without sourcing a specialist low-flow product outside the Cleanline system.
