Upgrading existing bar faucets to a reliable solid brass low lead model
At the heart of this instant hot and cold drinking faucet lies a quarter turn ceramic disc cartridge, which acts much like a pair of exceptionally flat, polished ceramic plates sliding smoothly across one another. When you twist the lever, these discs align to let water pass or seal tightly against each other to stop the flow completely. Because ceramic is nearly as hard as diamond, it resists the friction and mineral buildup that typically degrade traditional rubber washers over time. This engineering prevents annoying drips, ensures a smooth quarter-turn motion, and guarantees reliable performance for years of daily use.
Installation Guide
Ensure your mounting surface is clean, flat, and does not exceed 2 and 3/8 inches in thickness before starting installation.
Verify that your setup utilizes a single-hole deck mount configuration above your kitchen or prep sink.
Connect the water lines securely, noting that this model is recommended for use with the Whitehaus Forever Hot Tank WH-TANK2 for optimal heating performance.
Test both the lever handles to confirm smooth quarter-turn operation and check that the spring-loaded hot water handle automatically shuts off when released.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe down the solid brass exterior daily with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and keep the finish looking pristine.
Gentle Cleansing Use only mild soap and warm water for cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical detergents or abrasive scouring pads that can damage the finish.
Mineral Prevention Regularly dry the spout and handle bases with a clean microfiber towel to prevent mineral accumulation from hard water.
Cartridge Check Periodically check beneath the sink for any moisture around connections to ensure your supply lines remain tightly sealed.
Aerator Maintenance Unscrew and rinse the spout tip periodically to clear out any trapped debris and maintain an even 1.4 GPM flow rate.
