Central Brass Two Handle Laundry Faucet Heavy Duty Rough Brass 6" Reach Tube Swivel Spout, 0465

Our money-pit's basement came with an enormous concrete utility sink that was served by two hose bibs on the ends of some galvanized pipes. We re-plumbed with pex and needed a simple faucet for this sink.For whatever reason the inlets on this faucet are listed as NPSF instead of NPT. I decided to be a rebel and use NPT threaded fittings and teflon tape. Everything is holding just fine so far.I had a pair of threaded 1/2" NPT brass nipples and a pair of 1/2" FPT x 1/2" PTF Sharkbite brand couplers in our box of random plumbing parts. If I were buying new fittings, I would have bought MPT x PTF Sharkbites.Attaching the faucet to the sink was a little more work. The sink is right against the wall and too heavy to move; the set screw for the faucet's mounting bracket is on the back of the fixture. By removing and swapping the handles and cartridges, I was able to reverse the faucet and allow the temperature handles to turn down towards the user to open the valves.GLOSSARY*NPT: National (American) Pipe Thread or National (American) Pipe Tapered, depending on who is doing the talking. Needs teflon tape or pipe dope to seal the connection.*MPT: Male (National) Pipe Thread, an elliptical abbreviation for male members of the NPT family.*FPT: Female (National) Pipe Thread, an elliptical abbreviation for female members of the NPT family.*NPSF:National Pipe Straight, Fuel. Straight threads instead of tapered like NPT fittings. Intended for fuel.*PTF: Push-to-Fit connection. Colloquially called Sharkbites after the brand. As the name suggests, you push to fit them onto the pipe, and installing them requires no other tools but a cutter for the pipe and your hands. If you are transitioning from Pex pipe to another type of pipe, this is the easiest way to do it. Depending on the manufacturer, these can be used for copper and cpvc pipe as well as pex.*Nipple: a fitting with male threads on both ends.*Coupler: a one-piece fitting that is "female" on both ends. A threaded coupling has a threaded female opening.

Heavy duty faucet. Nice ! Plumber said brand is the best you can get. Faucet handles are strong, not like others that are kind of flimsy. Definitely worth a little extra money.

worked out nicely! new water faucet in the garage, hooked up the dog wash hose, now they get warm showers outside of the house after muddy winter walks. perfect!

Replaced and old sink faucet that was wore out. This worked like a charm. Easy install

Awesome product

Quality faucet. Easy to install. It was replacing an existing faucet that had a pex connection soldered on. This faucet allowed supply to accept 1/2” male NPT. So I ended up getting 1/2” male NPT to 1/2” pex connections and just pieced it in. Zero leaks and start to finish in under 10 minutes.

Was super quick to put together. Removed the old, put this one in, reconnected my (new) lines.Side note, don't waste your money on push fittings. They work amazing until one day they won't. And you'll be super annoyed. Just spend the 40$ on a pex crimp tool and use pex-b fittings and crimp rings (NOT cinch clamps). Life changing.Very good price compared to what I could get at a box store, and better reviews. The brass is SOLID. Very heavy feeling material.

I bought this faucet to replace a 20 year old Central Brass laundry sink faucet that broke. The new faucet was as well constructed as the original one was when new and a perfect fit for my application. The only complaint I have with this faucet is that it still uses old-fashion rubber washers instead of cartridges. I had to replace washers and O-rings on the previous faucet during its lifetime.
