Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridges in Widespread Faucets
Inside the Rohl Lombardia faucet, 1/4-turn ceramic disc valves act much like a finely tuned sliding gate. Instead of relying on a rubber washer that compresses and wears down against metal over time, two polished ceramic discs glide smoothly across each other to control water flow. When you turn the metal lever handles, the discs either align to let water through or seal tightly against one another to shut it off completely. This ceramic-on-ceramic action creates a nearly frictionless barrier that prevents leaks, resists mineral buildup, and ensures your handles require only a light, effortless quarter-turn for decades of dependable use.
Installation Guide
Confirm your countertop features three 1 3/8-inch cutouts spaced at 8-inch centers before beginning assembly.
Connect the hot and cold water supplies using standard 1/2-inch NPT connectors to the valve bodies.
Secure the widespread spout and metal lever handles firmly to the deck mount following standard plumbing protocols.
Flush the water lines briefly before final operation to clear out any residual debris from the installation process.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Drying Wipe the brass finish down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spots.
Gentle Cleaning Use mild soap and warm water for routine cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners.
Aerator Maintenance Periodically unscrew the aerator to remove any mineral sediment buildup and maintain a steady 1.2 GPM flow.
