This is a heavy, well constructed unit with a couple of flaws. The nipple that shipped with the item is tapered (NPT) on one side only. The other side is a straight threaded pipe. Not sure how this will ever make a good seal without being tapered thread. Installed per instructions with Teflon tape and it leaked at the threads. Really wrenched it down but to no avail. The second flaw which was less major but likely problematic down the road is the valve at the wall doesn’t stay in the fully closed position. It’s as if the weight of the handle pulls the valve slightly open. This negates the point of having the shut off at the wall. Read through other reviews and this seemed to be a problem that gets worse over time. It’s a shame because the fixture looks very nice, but will have to spring for a name brand at a much higher price. Hopefully these issues are resolved in a future version.
It's been leaking at pivot points
I am happy with the outcome, really upgrades my kitchen and functions well!
easy to install, sturdy, beautiful pot filler
The description says, "German-made Cartridge
This premium quality German-made cartridge can survive 500,000 times open & close test, no leakage for long term use." We haven't come close to that usage in the 2 years since installing the pot filler and now it starts leaking as soon as you open one of the two levers. I've read through all of the Q&A here and it states there are no replacement parts that we can order to correct this leak. You shouldn't have to buy a new pot filler every couple of years due to leaks. Beautiful to look at, but disappointing performance ?
