Kitchen Sink Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer 2 Handle 3 in 1 Water Filter Purifier Faucets Black 0195R

This faucet was half the price of a name brand and included a filtered water nozzle off the same fixture. This was only meant to be a temporary replacement while we have new countertops tops installed in a very large and now plan to keep this faucet. Can not understand why this has not been copied by the name brands. Very happy with it. Easy to install

Exactly as ordered

This kitchen faucet is surprisingly good for the money - much better quality than our previous one from Home Depot, and this one comes with the added benefit of the separate filter spigot, which is very difficult to find elsewhere. People had mentioned it was difficult to install and the "magnet" holding the spray head in place was not strong enough, even that the paint was prone to quickly peeling. I had none of these problems and the whole unit (silver colour) is as good as new after a year of intensive use. I am pleasantly surprised! During installation of the filter, I had to swap a couple of pipes to make sure everything was long enough, and bought an additional T adapter from home depot, so be ready for that. The unit feels strong, sturdy and not cheap - it seems built to last. Don't rush the installation, and place the weight ball correctly, and all should be well.

Terrible design. What could have been a 15min installation turned out to be 90min and had to order a replacement unit. Waste of time. It is impossible to pass the fastener nut onto the threaded mast. Both original and replacement unit had the same issue, the arrangement of the hoses leaves connectors at a position that is bigger than the diameter of the mast. There is no way to properly thread the nut onto the mast. On the replacement unit I pre compressed with a clamp all the connectors so they were actually smaller than the mast diameter. It made threading the nut a bit easier but still had to play around to find the right angle.Also on the first unit the nut never securely fastened the mast. I tightened it as much as possible and after using the faucet a few times the nut would come loose.The material of the faucet seems to be made of some low quality alloy. It’s very light. The weight on the pull out hose doesn’t really pull the head back into position on its own. You still have to guide the hose back into the faucet pipe.Overall a bad installation experience and seems to be a low quality product. Only reason why I didn’t return it is because I threw my original faucet away. Should have kept it until I installation was working 100%. Don’t think it will last long.

I like this faucet, and I have it hooked up to my reverse osmosis system. It works great, but it wasn't easy to install. I bought this because I didn't want to drill another hole in my granite countertop for the new RO system. For some reason, combo faucets like this seem to be pretty hard to find. The other 3way faucets I did find seem to be designed for those huge farmhouse sinks. Maybe that's because RO systems are more common in rural areas where people are drinking from well water? Anyhow, I paired this up with an Apec Ultimate RO system. I mostly followed the instructions, but I have some notes on the stuff that was missing, or unclear, or that I did differently in case anyone else is looking to do the same. Hopefully I can save someone else some pains and reduce their time spent working under the sink. I am not a plumber, I'm just a homeowner that finally got this faucet installed.I had to remove the original faucet installed on the countertop and to my surprise I needed a special tool called a "Basin Wrench" to remove the nut on the old faucet's shank. None of the tools I owned would fit in the tiny space around the faucet shank to remove the nut. I made a trip to the hardware store and picked one up. Now I own a $15 tool that I'll probably only ever use that one time.The instructions that came with this faucet didn't match up with the parts in the box. In particular there was no big black plastic ring. It wasn't obvious how to use the brass ring it came with, and there were no instructions for that part. Hopefully they will update the instructions for this in the future. I put the rubber washer on the shank, touching the *under* side of the countertop (it didn't make sense to put this on the top side). I then slid on the thin metal ring, followed by the threaded brass ring with screw holes. After those were all in place, I tightened up the screws in the brass ring.Note that the ring that threads onto the shank is made of fairly soft brass, so be very careful about making sure the screws are threading in correctly, or you'll easily strip the threads.When I first installed the faucet onto the counter top, my wife noticed that the whole faucet (handles and everything) would spin on the counter top. It would spin around in either direction freely, and that wasn't going to work. So I went back and tightened up the screws some more but that didn't help. No matter how tight those screws were, the faucet would spin. I ended up re-installing the ring and screws so many times that I had to replace the screws (M6 metric screws by the way. If you have to buy screws too, use the smallest head you can find. I used the black hex ones and the head barely had enough clearance to fit against the shank) After some troubleshooting, we realized that the shank (threaded brass pipe) that connects to the faucet was loose, and that's the reason the faucet was spinning around. So, quick tip: Before installing the faucet, check the shank on the faucet and tighten it up really good if it's loose. It will save you a ton of time and frustration. I'll probably use loctite on the shank-to-sink connection if it starts spinning again in the future.I picked up a 3/8x3/8x1/4 compression tee fitting at the hardware store that I connected to the cold outlet on the wall. The Apec RO system I bought does come with a complicated three part setup for this, but when every connection is another opportunity for a leak, I wanted to reduce that mess down to one part. I connected the RO system to the 1/4 side, and the cold water line on this faucet to the other 3/8 side. I used teflon tape on the 3/8 connections. Also note that since there isn't an on/off valve on the tee fitting, I'll have to turn off the tank valve during filter changes or water will go everywhere. Keep that in mind if you happen to go with a T fitting too.I also replaced the plastic fitting that connects the filtered water line on the faucet to the 1/4 tube from the RO. I picked up a metal version of the same thing at lowes that had a compression fitting for the 1/4 tube. I think they called it a "reducer". The tiny faucet that came with the RO system had a plastic tube connected to it that was designed to connect to the RO system. I cut that plastic tube off of the Apec faucet, and used it to connect the RO system to this faucet instead.Before purchasing this faucet, I was reading all of these reviews and wondering why people don't just replace that filtered water supply line with one that connects directly to the RO system. Everyone seemed to be purchasing a fitting that connects to the faucet's supply line, then connecting the RO system to the fitting. Now that I've gone through the install, it makes sense why everyone has to go this route. While a single supply line from the RO system to the faucet would have made that connection super simple, there doesn't appear to be one that exists. The faucet side connection on the supply line seems to be proprietary (or at least Lowes doesn't carry a supply line that fits it, which seems to be a 1/4 inch male fitting?) Also, the line coming from the RO system in my case was a 1/4 inch plastic tube, and there probably isn't a faucet supply line that reduces down to a 1/4 inch plastic tube on the water supply side.In total, I had to make three trips to the hardware store to complete this install: one to pick up the faucet wrench to remove the old faucet, one to pick up replacement screws for the brass ring (because I eventually rounded off the original screws while trying to fix the spinning faucet issue), and another trip to pick up a brass fittings like the one that replaced the plastic fitting that came with this faucet.So in summary: You probably have everything you need, but plan on a trip to the hardware store if you don't like plastic fittings, or you have anything non-standard going on. Make sure that threaded shank is snugly screwed into the faucet before installing. Be careful when threading those screws into the brass ring or you'll likely strip the threads on the ring. Consider teflon tape on the water connections, especially on any brass-to-chrome or brass-to-steel (this fixed a leak I was having). Good luck!
