Common questions answered

• “Is 8”–16” adjustable?”
  • Yes—widespread sets allow you to position handles and spout across that range to match your countertop pre‑drill or custom spacing.
• “Do ceramic cartridges help with drips?”
  • Ceramic cartridges maintain seals under frequent use, helping reduce drip risks and keep operation smooth.
• “Will brass hold up in humid bathrooms?”
  • Brass body and waterways handle bathroom humidity; pair with proper aerator maintenance for sustained performance.

Installation checklist

• Confirm vanity pre‑drill: three holes aligned for spout center and two handles.
• Measure center‑to‑center spacing; set between 8” and 16” based on countertop and user reach.
• Use the supplied gaskets and plumber’s putty/silicone at the base to prevent seepage.
• Tighten from beneath the deck; verify handle swing and spout alignment before final torque.
• Flush lines and test hot/cold mix; check for leaks at connections and cartridge seats.

Use cases

• Family bathrooms: intuitive two‑handle temperature control and consistent flow.
• Hotel/BNB vanities: classic layout, easy maintenance for room turnover.
• Renovation projects: upgrade from centerset to widespread for a premium feel and flexible spacing.

Care tips

• Wipe surfaces with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive powders on finishes.
• Clean aerator periodically to maintain stream quality.
• Inspect handle mounts and supply connections seasonally.
