GPURE® DURALAB

Gpure Duralab is Gentec’s laboratory water tapware range, manufactured in Grade 316 stainless steel. Gpure Duralab 316 stainless steel taps serve wet-bench, pathology and hygiene-critical laboratory environments, and meet WaterMark certification, Lead Free WaterMark readiness ahead of the 1 May 2026 NCC 2022 manufacturing deadline, and WELS registration on rated models. The range covers hob-mounted fixed-spout, swivel-gooseneck, and hot/cold mixer configurations across four published SKUs – the swivel gooseneck configuration matches real, low-competition Australian search demand for “gooseneck tap” and “stainless steel tapware.” Grade 316 is specified over Grade 304 for its added molybdenum content, improving resistance to chloride-driven corrosion. If your bench also needs gas, vacuum, compressed air or special-water services, see our sibling DURALAB Gas and Dry Services DZR brass range instead.

Why Specifiers Choose Gentec

  • Grade 316 stainless steel – not Grade 304 – the higher-molybdenum grade Gentec specifies for chloride and chemical resistance in wet laboratory environments.
  • Confirmed 0.00% lead content on GPD710, ahead of the 1 May 2026 NCC 2022 manufacturing deadline for lead-free WaterMark products.
  • specifiers a verifiable water-usage figure.
  • Swivel gooseneck, fixed-spout and hot/cold mixer configurations available within the same material system, avoiding a mid-project material change.
  • Downloadable datasheets and line drawings published per SKU for direct specification into tender documents.
  • Built specifically for laboratory hob mounting, rather than adapted from general commercial basin tapware.
  • Backed by Gentec’s ISO 9001-certified manufacturing and quality system.

Which tapware is right for my project?

Choose this if:

Choose Gpure Duralab if you need potable or special water outlets in a wet-bench, pathology, or hygiene-critical laboratory environment.

Choose DURALAB Gas and Dry Services instead if:

Choose sibling DURALAB Gas and Dry Services instead if you need gas, vacuum, compressed air or non-potable special-water control valves.

Choose Laboratory Tapware hub instead  if:

Choose the Laboratory Tapware hub instead if you’re comparing both ranges before specifying a mixed-service bench

How to Choose

  • Confirm the outlet is for potable or special water service – Gpure Duralab is not rated for gas, vacuum or compressed air.
  • Select the spout configuration (fixed, swivel gooseneck, hot/cold mixer) to match the bench layout and hand-clearance requirements.
  • Check the model’s individual datasheet for its WELS star rating and flow rate before specifying for water-efficiency reporting.
  • Verify WaterMark certification and, for projects completing after 1 May 2026, Lead Free WaterMark status.
  • Request the line drawing and, if required, Revit/DWG files for tender documentation.

Common Mistakes When Specifying

  • Assuming every model in the range shares GPD710’s WELS star rating -check each SKU’s own datasheet.
  • Treating “stainless steel” as a single material – confirm Grade 316, not Grade 304, where chloride exposure is a factor.
  • Overlooking that special-water outlets (e.g. deionised) may need additional wetted-component verification beyond standard potable-water WaterMark certification.
  • Assuming zero-lead stainless steel and lead-free (≤0.25%) DZR brass are interchangeable compliance claims – they are not.
  • Most common misconception: assuming DZR brass laboratory taps are unsuitable for any water service simply because that range is grouped under “Gas and Dry Services.” DZR brass is also lead-free-compliant for certain water and special-water outlets within that sibling range; the deciding factor is the specific product’s rated service, not the base metal alone.

Industry Applications

Pathology and clinical laboratories – Lead Free WaterMark compliance track for hygiene-critical water outlets.

University wet-bench research labs – AS/NZS 4020:2018-tested wetted-component compliance for water contact.

School science laboratories – WaterMark-certified, AS 3718:2021 performance-rated taps for high-frequency student use.

Food and beverage testing labs – Grade 316 stainless steel chloride resistance for chemical washdown environments.

Hospital sterile processing and washdown areas – Corrosion resistance under repeated disinfectant exposure.

TAFE and vocational training laboratories – WELS-registered outlets supporting water-efficiency reporting.

Government and CSIRO research facilities – Zero-lead water outlets for lead-sensitive analytical work.

GPURE® DURALAB FAQ's

What is Gpure Duralab tapware made from?

Gpure Duralab is manufactured in Grade 316 stainless steel with zero lead content, confirmed as 0.00% on Gentec’s published product listing for GPD710. Grade 316 includes molybdenum for improved resistance to chloride-driven pitting corrosion compared with Grade 304, making it suited to laboratory environments with frequent disinfectant use, saline exposure or chemical washdown. The range covers hob-mounted water outlets, including fixed-spout and swivel-gooseneck configurations, for wet-bench and pathology applications.

Is Gpure Duralab WaterMark certified?

Yes, Gpure Duralab water outlets require WaterMark certification to be legally connected to a water supply in Australia. From 1 May 2026, NCC 2022 Clause A5G4(2) additionally requires Lead Free WaterMark certification for newly manufactured drinking-water tapware; Gpure Duralab’s zero-lead construction supports this requirement ahead of the deadline. Confirm current certification status against the specific model’s datasheet before specifying, and retain the certificate number in the project’s compliance file.

What WELS star rating does Gpure Duralab carry?

The GPD710 swivel gooseneck model carries a verified WELS registration of 3 Star at 8.0 litres per minute, registration number T49291. WELS ratings are model-specific, so other configurations in the range should be checked against their own datasheet rather than assumed to match. WELS applies only to water-flow fixtures and is not relevant to gas or vacuum outlets, and the rating should be quoted by registration number in any water-efficiency reporting or Green Star submission.

Can Gpure Duralab be installed on the same bench as DZR brass gas taps?

Yes, this is standard laboratory practice. Gpure Duralab (316 stainless steel) handles water outlets while DURALAB Gas and Dry Services (DZR brass) handles gas, vacuum and compressed-air outlets on the same bench, provided each fitting is certified for its specific service and installed by a licensed plumber or gasfitter as applicable. Keep each product’s certification and datasheet on file separately, since the two ranges are certified under different compliance pathways.

Why choose 316 stainless steel over DZR brass for laboratory water taps?

Grade 316 stainless steel offers 0.00% lead content and stronger resistance to chloride-driven corrosion than lead-free DZR brass, which permits up to 0.25% lead. For wet-bench, pathology or hygiene-critical laboratories where zero lead content or maximum chemical resistance is specified, 316 stainless steel is the appropriate choice; DZR brass remains a compliant, cost-effective option for gas and dry services rather than a like-for-like substitute.
