AS1428.1 compliance isn't just about the fixture — the tap control itself has to meet specific operability requirements, and this is where a lot of otherwise-good bathroom fit-outs fall short. Lever-operated tapware with extended reach and elbow-operable handles is the standard that actually satisfies the requirement.
Basin sets
The LC602 lever basin set is built specifically for AS1428.1 compliance — extended lever, elbow-operable, no grip or twisting force required. This is the detail that matters for NDIS/SDA and aged-care fit-outs: the lever has to be operable by someone who can't grip or turn a standard handle, and extended reach means it can be reached and operated from a seated position.
Sink/hob sets
For kitchens and utility areas, the LC601 gooseneck sink mixing set and LC603-LF sink set apply the same extended-lever, elbow-operation principle to sink and hob installations — the gooseneck spout on the LC601 also improves clearance for larger pots and washing.
What to check before you spec
Extended lever length, elbow-operability (not just "lever style" — some lever taps still need a grip/twist motion), and mounting height relative to the fixture are the three things worth double-checking against the AS1428.1 spec sheet before ordering, not after installation. All three sets above are chrome finish and stocked for trade dispatch.
