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:

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!

Ordered brushed brass and gold. Brushed brass matches the rest of the gold hardware in my bathroom. It is more of an antique gold, not an orange brass. The gold is very shiny, but still a good gold color. Cannot speak to install and use, but I can’t wait to have them installed & can update this in a few months!

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.

Love them! Hot tip — plumber was able to take off ring and adjust to read hot & cold symmetrically.

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.

Very classy and works well. Fit perfectly in my bathroom. Was not hard to install, comes with all the pieces. There is no noise but water running. Adds the perfect touch of vintage in my bothersome. Also, the faucet is not so high that the water splashes all over the sink.

I purchased 3 of these for my home. I ordered the first on a few months ago for my single sink bathroom. I liked the quality and ease of install. I had no problems with it and it looked really nice. A few months later, I decided to change out the fixtures in my double sink bathroom so I ordered 2 more. When the second set arrived, everything was the same except the drain set. Which was plastic instead of metal. I installed one with the new drain and for some reason it would not seal. I contacted the seller and asked if I could get the "older" version drain plug. They promptly sent out 2 sets and once they arrived, I installed everything with no problem. The company is very attentive and did a great job addressing my concerns. I don't think you can beat this fixture set for the price and quality you get.
