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/AS1428.1-aligned lever operation and NCC 2022 lead-free compliance; and GPURE® Cleanline Grade 316 Stainless 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.

Is lever tapware required for accessible bathrooms?
Yes. DDA/AS1428.1 requires lever-operated tapware in accessible bathrooms because levers require less force to operate and support compliant hand-wash function. Capstan tapware does not meet DDA/AS1428.1 requirements.
Is capstan tapware DDA compliant?
No. Capstan tapware uses turn-handle operation and does not meet DDA/AS1428.1 accessibility requirements. Lever tapware -either Cleanline Lead-Free Brass or GPURE® Cleanline Stainless – must be specified for accessible bathrooms.
What is the difference between lead-free and zero-lead tapware?
Lead-free tapware (≤0.25% lead) meets the NCC 2022 lead-free standard for potable water contact. Zero-lead tapware (0.00% lead) -as used in GPURE® Cleanline Stainless – exceeds this standard and is specified for clinical environments where the highest hygiene is mandatory.
Which material is best for hygiene-critical environments?
Grade 316 stainless steel with 0.00% lead content and laminar flow at the outlet – as in GPURE® Cleanline Stainless lever tapware – provides the highest hygiene performance for hospitals, laboratories, and food-processing facilities.
What is the difference between capstan and lever tapware?
Capstan tapware uses round turn-handles that require a gripping and rotating motion not DDA/AS1428.1 compliant and not suitable for accessible bathrooms. Lever tapware uses elongated handles (100mm or 150mm) that require significantly less force to operate and support DDA/AS1428.1 accessibility requirements. Both handle types are available in the CLEANLINE range.
Which Gentec tapware supports DDA/AS1428.1 compliance?
Both the Cleanline Lead-Free Brass Lever and GPURE® Cleanline Grade 316 Stainless Lever ranges support DDA/AS1428.1-aligned 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 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 0.00% lead and laminar flow at the outlet. Lead-free brass lever tapware is appropriate for accessible bathrooms, general healthcare, and public facilities 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.
