Key Features
Solid Brass Construction Provides exceptional durability and structural integrity for long-term daily use.
1.2 GPM Flow Rate Delivers efficient water usage while maintaining a steady and reliable stream.
Ceramic Disc Cartridge Ensures smooth handle operation and helps prevent unwanted leaks over time.
Two Lever Handles Offers intuitive, independent control over hot and cold water mixing.
Deck Mount Installation Designed to fit standard three-hole widespread configurations securely.
Goose Neck Spout Provides generous clearance above the basin for comfortable hand washing and grooming.
Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridge Technology
The internal ceramic disc cartridge functions much like a pair of exceptionally hard, highly polished ceramic plates that slide across one another to regulate water flow. When you turn the lever handles, these plates align or block openings to control volume and temperature with minimal physical effort. Unlike traditional rubber washers that degrade and crack over friction-heavy use, ceramic discs maintain a tight, friction-resistant seal that prevents drips and ensures smooth handle movement for years.
Installation Guide
Clear the vanity workspace and shut off the main water supply valves beneath the sink before beginning installation.
Position the widespread spout and two lever handles into the three required deck mount holes, securing them underneath with the provided mounting hardware.
Connect your hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding valve inlets, ensuring all threaded connections are snug without over-tightening.
Turn the water supply back on slowly and test both handles to check for proper flow and verify that no leaks are present at the joints.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the brass surface dry with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Mild Cleansing Use a gentle soap and warm water solution for weekly cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical abrasives that can dull the finish.
Aerator Check Unscrew the spout tip periodically to clear out any trapped debris or sediment that might restrict the 1.2 GPM water stream.
Handle Care Keep the area around the dual lever bases clean and dry to ensure smooth rotation of the ceramic disc mechanism.
Finish Protection Refrain from using scouring pads, steel wool, or acidic cleaners to preserve the integrity of the Italian craftsmanship.
