    Nifty New Faucet

    I replaced a bathroom faucet with an American Standard high spout type. What was so cool was the pop up assembly. It is cable operated with just a knurled nut screw on. No rods and shafts to adjust, or needing space for them. The drain came with special gaskets, and no plumbers putty was needed. Very fast hook-up.

    Sounds smart. I will say that one of the most frustrating things about plumbing is the seeming lack of innovation. Smart manufacturers will differentiate themselves by bringing such new and innovative products to market.

      What gets me is why these sorts of things are so bloody expensive. Looks very nice though...

      No plumbers putty is a nice plus. Don't think I've ever had too much issue hooking up a standard pop-up drain though...

        I bought an American Standard faucet from HD when it was clearance. There was a ton of them with a $20 tag marked on them (from around $100). I didn't have a specific project/ need right then, but I picked one up. Ended up using it in one of my bathrooms, and it was hands down the BEST faucet I've even installed. Very nice quality.

        I should have picked them all up though, later I saw the price go to $40, the $60....
