Recent changes to the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) guidelines have seen the DET standards updated to improve water quality outcomes, for new and refurbished Victorian DET assets. 

Lead-Free products

Commencing February 2019 and following careful deliberation by the VSBA, Principal Design Consultants, Services Engineers, and Building Contractors for VSBA and school-led projects are required to install plumbing products and fittings that are “Lead-Free” or “Safe”.

These products may include those manufactured from Stainless Steel, Copper, Plastic, and Copper Alloys.

GalvinClear® technology

Galvin Engineering’s range of Australian WaterMark-approved, Stainless Steel and Lead-Free DR Brass tapware solutions, utilizing GalvinClear® technology, not only meet the VSBA’s improved Quality Standards but provide better and long-term, water quality outcomes for the next project.

"We are passionate about Water Solutions for a Healthier Environment, to discuss the VSBA practice note along with solutions to meet the new guidelines."
