GGStudy 8 inch 2 Handles 3 Holes Widespread Bathroom Sink Faucet Antique Brass Bathroom Vanity Faucet Basin Mixer Tap Matching Metal Pop Up Drain with Overflow

This is a superbly well-designed faucet, and I am not referring to the looks, although appearance is excellent. I am referring to the fact that it utilizes screw-on compression-type fittings on the ends of the "Y" combiner hose, going from each valve to the center spout, giving a leak-free, secure connection on all 3 connection points.. I went through literal hell trying to install a previous look-alike from another vendor. We have an arrangement that utilizes a diverter valve screwed into the aerator to provide a bidet hose, much the same as a portable dishwasher connection. This means that the spout is always under pressure. The previous unit had push-on snap connectors, much like Delta and many others. When I installed the previous faucet, and put the spout under pressure with the diverter, the push-on connector to the spout immediately blew off, flooding everything underneath a pedestal sink in a second-floor bathroom. After much refitting, I finally got the push-on connectors to stay on, but they dripped profusely, since the spout was under pressure. Searched for faucets that had screw on connectors for days, but they were hard to find, as I had to look on the parts diagram for each faucet, until I found this one which worked superbly with no leaking whatsoever, even under pressure on the spout. It seems to me that faucet designers could design a faucet that doesn't blow up when you pressurize the spout. Is that asking too much? And I could not find any reference to this situation on the internet. Exasperated, until I found this GGStudy. Kudos! Most other mfgs like Delta use push-on. One exception is Kingston, which seems to use screw-on compression fittings, but more expensive. The first picture below is a diagram of the GGStudy (with screw-on compression "Y" Connectors), and the second picture is an example of a "Push-On" "Y" Connector that other widespread faucets use:

Very classy and it works great!

Gorgeous! They work and install well. Looks vintage!

EDIT: got this faucet installed in December 2023 and it is now September 2024. The Brushed Gold color started chipping off in the spring of 2024 and has now tarnished off completely around the knobs and faucet spout. I do not use any abrasive cleaners on it just soap and only use microfiber towels. It always gets wiped down with a paper towel after washing my hands so it doesn’t remain wet. Really not sure how the gold is applied onto the metal, but it’s not meant for long-term or everyday use in my opinion. Might be better for a guest bath. My plan is to now invest in a solid brass faucet so if it tarnishes, I can at least polish it to make it look new again.Love the faucet! I bought the Brushed Gold and it’s a pale gold color. Water pressure is great. Only gripe is that you have to turn the knobs inward instead of outward for both hot and cold water. My plumber said it was a little hard to install in my pedestal sink and the water supply lines were kind of long but he couldn’t swap out for anything shorter because it was a specific size. He had to loosely knot the lines so they didn’t dangle behind the pedestal sink. If you have a regular cabinet sink the supply lines shouldn’t be an eyesore or anything. The plumber did also have to buy an additional pipe piece to add under the flange but again, might have just been because of the style of my sink.

Perfect for powder room

Is it possible to change the turning configuration with the cold handle? I do not like how both handles turn the same way. I believe standard configuration for a faucet would have the hit and cold handles configured the opposite of each other. I’d also like to mention that the antique brass does not look as “antique” as I was hoping. It almost looks good to me. I’d be interested in seeing a gold and antique brass one side-by-side to compare.

Looks the same as the $400 name brand it replaced.

Can't speak to longevity because I had these installed when I was prepping to put my place on the market, but they look good!
