Features
Solid Brass Construction: The fixture is machined from a single piece of high-density brass alloy, renowned for its resistance to thermal expansion and contraction caused by hot water cycles. This monolithic construction eliminates weak points where leaks commonly occur in assembled fixtures, extending the product’s lifespan to an estimated 25+ years with proper maintenance .
Classic Design: The spout features a gentle arc that delivers water precisely into the center of most standard bathtubs, while the cross-handle valves add a touch of vintage charm. The brushed nickel finish develops a subtle patina over time that enhances its classic character without compromising functionality or requiring special care.
High-Traffic Performance: Engineered to withstand the demands of commercial environments, this faucet features reinforced valve stems and heavy-duty handles that resist loosening from frequent use. Its robust design makes it an ideal choice for rental properties, vacation homes, and family bathrooms where fixtures endure daily use by multiple occupants.
Anti-Siphon Protection: Equipped with an integrated vacuum breaker that prevents backflow of contaminated water into the main supply line, this fixture meets the plumbing codes of all 50 states. This critical safety feature provides protection against cross-connection hazards, ensuring that water remains safe for drinking and bathing even in complex plumbing systems.
