Question 1

What is the difference between single-handle and dual-handle faucets?

Accepted Answer

Single-handle faucets control both temperature and flow with one lever, offering convenience and modern aesthetics. Dual-handle (two-handle) faucets have separate hot and cold controls, providing precise temperature adjustment and traditional styling. Single-handle is more popular for kitchens, while both styles are common in bathrooms.

Question 2

How do I choose the right faucet height for my sink?

Accepted Answer

For kitchen sinks, choose 8-10 inch spout height for standard sinks, 10-12 inches for deeper or undermount sinks. For bathroom basins, 4-6 inches works for most vessel sinks, while standard drop-in basins need 4-5 inches. Ensure adequate clearance for filling pots or washing hands comfortably.

Question 3

Are brass faucets safe for drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our faucets use NSF/ANSI 61 certified lead-free brass that meets strict safety standards for drinking water contact. The lead content is below 0.25% as required by law. All components contacting water are certified safe, and we conduct regular testing to ensure compliance.

Question 4

How long do ceramic disc cartridges last?

Accepted Answer

Our premium ceramic disc cartridges are rated for over 500,000 cycles, which typically translates to 10-15 years of normal residential use. They're superior to compression valves (washers) that may need replacement every 1-2 years. Ceramic discs are virtually maintenance-free.

Question 5

Can I install these faucets myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most homeowners with basic plumbing knowledge can install our faucets. We provide detailed instructions and all necessary mounting hardware. You'll need basic tools like adjustable wrench, basin wrench, and plumber's tape. For wall-mounted models or if you're uncomfortable with plumbing, we recommend professional installation.

Question 6

How do I clean and maintain brass faucets?

Accepted Answer

Clean regularly with mild soap and soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the finish. For hard water deposits, use vinegar solution or commercial lime remover. Periodically check and clean the aerator to maintain flow rate. Most finishes have protective coatings that resist tarnishing.

Question 7

What finish is most durable?

Accepted Answer

Chrome and brushed nickel are the most durable and easiest to maintain. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes like gold or matte black are extremely durable and scratch-resistant. Oil-rubbed bronze and antique brass develop a natural patina over time, which some prefer. All our finishes come with a 10-year warranty.

Question 8
