Prep Sink Faucet

I think these faucets are aimed mostly at bar sinks, but I think it works great in the bathroom. It's nice to have a removable head to rinse down the sides of the sink rather than just sweeping water around with your hand. The faucet is attractive and functions perfectly. It's a bit larger than your average bathroom faucet, but the convenience is worth it. Installing it is very easy, you only need a wrench to tighten the water line connections and a screwdriver to tighten the fastening ring to the bottom of the counter. It took me longer to remove the old faucet than to install the new one. Bear in mind - this is NOT a push button nozzle to switch to spray mode - you twist the head instead. The little black dot is ornamental (and perhaps made to make some customers think it's a button). Not a big deal though. If you're installing in a three hole counter situation, the included plate isn't wide enough to cover the extra holes. I bought another one on Amazon for around ten bucks that matched the brushed nickel perfectly. I installed this faucet in the guest bathroom, then my wife liked it so much we bought two more for the master bath.

I had a hard time finding a centerset faucet with sprayer for my utility sink (the cheap one broke). The quality of this faucet is top of the line. It's made from solid materials, not plastic, and looks and works beautifully. Don't think that "made in China" means low quality. This faucet is made by a Chinese company that makes quality plumbing fixtures totally unlike the cheap junk made in China by American companies that only care about profit for shareholders. It can be hard to find companies like this, but I've found a couple, and their products are as good as anything you can buy from any country. My only complaint is that I couldn't find the installation instructions anywhere, including on their website (gemfaucet.com), so had to take a chance that it would fit. The hoses were just long enough to reach the supply valves, and the hole required was larger than the one on my sink, so I had to enlarge it with a hole punch. But it's beautiful and will hopefully last for as long as we live here.

I purchased this product because I wanted the height and the pull out sprayer. I preferred this design to the others that are available if you search Amazon for a bar sink faucet. It was also important to me that there be a magnetic connection between the pull out sprayer and the receiver. It is magnetic, as the hanging paper clip on one of my pictures demonstrates. The faucet arrived in good shape, with no evident damage or manufacturing defects. Time will only tell when it comes to long term appearance and durability. It looks good now. There was no tool for removing the aerator included with the product that I received that some reviewers have mentioned. It did include size adapters, which I didn't need, for connecting the faucet hoses to the water supply valves, and a tool to assist tightening them. I'm generally pleased with the product. I got it installed in an older existing vanity and sink and it didn't leak. So the rest of my review will focus on some comments and various issues, none a deal killer necessitating a product return, but sufficient to move the rating needle from five stars down to four. Perhaps most disappointing for me is the aeration. This is not the only faucet that has subordinated good aeration functionality to appearance considerations. The purpose of aeration is to keep the flow of water from splashing when it touches objects, such as when you are washing your hands. Although this faucet does aerate to a degree, it doesn't do a good job. Wash your hands, etc., and water splashes all over the place and you are faced with finding a cloth to wipe up. Yes, the water flow could be carefully adjusted and moderated when turning it on, but that is the inconvenience that aeration is supposed to make unnecessary. Why have aeration if it won't do what it's supposed to do. Secondly, there is a black button on the pull out sprayer that will stop the water flow AS LONG AS YOU HOLD IT DOWN. If it slips out of your hands for any reason, water will spray wherever its aimed at the moment. It would be better if it was a matter of push to turn off, and push again to turn back on. The installation instructions are nearly inscrutable and overly brief at one side of an 8" x 11" page. They seem to be biased to installations of the faucet in new construction situations and not when retrofitting the faucet into an existing vanity and sink as was my situation and I assume that of many other purchasers. Look at panel #2 in my picture of the instructions. Would you know from looking at it, as I learned from another review, that this panel is attempting to show you to run some water through the supply pipes to clear possible sediment? Could you do it at your installation? Panel #1 of the instructions shows the recommended tools. My picture shows the tools I actually used. (Admittedly the red tool wasn't actually used for the installation, but was very useful for turning off the water supply valves.) One tool pictured in the instructions is a bit misleading. It looks like an ordinary screw driver. But look at my picture under the sink and at panel #5. If you are installing in an existing vanity you will need to reach screws up behind the sink. The screw driver in panel #5 could never do that. A screw driver with an extra long shank would work. In my case I purchased a hex driver extension shown in the photo. The instructions assume the water supply is from the wall. In my single story house, as shown in the picture, the water supply is up from the floor. It was necessary to purchase extensions to the supply hoses that come with the faucet. Not too big a problem once I found a knowledgeable sales person at the local big box. One final note, at the same time as I installed the faucet, I also installed a new drain stopper in the sink. It was very useful to have that plumbing out of the way while installing the faucet.

It is missing a spray feature but it works perfectly for our application. The on off button is very useful. It’s size is ideal for small sink spaces. We replaced our in our RV and this is gorgeous. Seems to be well made although not solid brass but appears so. It works wonderfully in our situation.

Rarely give 5 stars, but in terms of build and value for money, this hit the sweet spot. As a handyman, I install dozens of faucets every year. Client wanted a compact pull out sprayer on a limited budget. Options at most shops were $200+. Paid less than a quarter of that for this one. Installed easily and works like a charm. Buyers should note that there is no "button" for the sprayer (as the description suggests). You must pull down on the spigot section to turn it into a spray. But pulls out and retracts easily, magnet holds it in place, extends well over the sink bowl, and fits under the overhanging cabinets with plenty of room to spare. Seems sturdy too. I'd recommend for RVs, boats, and other places where space is a premium. I'll use this model again for sure.

Nice little faucet works perfect in my laundry sink

I bought a ”kitchen“ faucet for my apartment size “ cheapest, smallest kitchen sink “ I had to return that one because it was so larger it was ridiculous. I took a chance on this “ bar sink” faucet and it fits perfectly with an additionally purchased 3 hole sink cover . The one supplied is too small if you are replacing a 3 hole faucet. Other than that it was simple to install. The hardest part was removing the old hack work that was a pipe patch my apartment maintenance guy did 5 years ago before I had a say in the faucet replacement. They bought a 20 dollar pos that squeeked so loud on the hot side I was sure it would blow up. Hence This new faucet and it is so efficient and beautiful it updates the whole kitchen . It seems relatively well built . Time will tell. it’s great for the price of it doesn’t blow up soon...

It began to stain and lose it's finish with the first and every subsequent drop of water that managed to dry on its surface. That discoloration around the button is not calcium, it's the copper plating showing through the "brushed nickel" finish. I clean regularly with gentle products, and wipe things dry after I use the sink, but I can't be there to wipe up water drops every time my husband washes his hands. That's all it takes to ruin the finish. Don't polish it dry the instant you are through using the faucet. The finish on the handle wore through within weeks, and this is just a bathroom sink faucet, not a high traffic area. My kitchen fsucrt has lasted three yes as long, and still looks great. The other thing is that the water hose and weight are clunky. The hose sounds like a massive zipper being pulled up, and the weight makes a clunking sound. They're instead properly, they are just poorly designed and made from inferior materials. Other than those problems which make me hate this faucet every day since I bought it, it functions well enough. It doesn't leak. The stream/spray option works fine. I can't recommend this faucet unless you would like to be irritated by it daily, and embarrassed by its appearance.

Muy buena calidad

Très bonne qualité prix

Cercavo una misura di rubinetto non esuberante per il mio lavello a due vasche in cucina, affinché non confligesse con degli scaffali soprastanti e questo si è rivelato ottimo. Pienamente funzionale anche per le pentole più alte, non ha bisogno di avere uno stelo verticale tanto alto come la maggioranza degli altri, tra questi quelli ricurvi, poi, infine hanno il getto d'acqua alla stessa altezza di questo prodotto ma occupando uno spazio in altezza ingiustificato, solo questione di gusti estetici. Anche da quest'ultimo punto di vista, per i miei gusti, questo mi è molto più gradevole. Comodissima la doccetta estraibile col flusso opzionabile tra quello risparmioso e antispruzzo e quello a raggiera e più incisivo. Il flessibile della doccetta ha uno snodo metallico in prossimità della terminazione rigida che lo preserva torsioni improprie e quindi la durata; la doccetta torna esattamente e stabilmente nella sua posizione naturale grazie ad una rientranza del tubo base che riceve l'apposito rilievo sporgente della stessa doccetta, quindi nessun rischio di riposizionamento variabile ed improprio. Sono soddisfatto e spero di restarlo per molto tempo.

Love this mixer tap works well easy to fit and looks great in my narrow boat

Schnelle Lieferung und gute Qualität.
