Pfister Courant 8 in widespread faucet review

A two-handle 8-inch widespread bathroom faucet with a 360-degree swivel spout, 1.5 gpm WaterSense, NSF lead-free, a Push & Seal drain and a lifetime warranty.

What the listing puts in writing

  • 8-inch widespread, three holes, two handles
  • 1.5 gpm, EPA WaterSense, stated to cut water use by 30%
  • NSF certified lead-free to the California, Vermont, Maryland and Louisiana laws and the Safe Drinking Water Act
  • Push & Seal drain, valve and cartridge included; spout swivels 360°
  • Limited lifetime warranty on finish and function

The only widespread faucet here

An 8-inch spread is the other common American hole pattern, standard on many vanity tops. A centerset faucet will not cover it, and a deckplate cannot stretch that far. On this shelf, this is the faucet for it.

The figures that do not add up

The spec table gives 8 inches of spout height, 8 inches of spout reach, and an overall faucet height of 7.75 inches. A spout cannot stand higher than the faucet. At least one of those three numbers is wrong, and nothing on the page says which.

So the clearance under the spout is unknown from this listing. If it matters for your basin, check the spec sheet before relying on it.

What the paperwork covers

Pfister writes out what most listings imply: the lead-free certification and the state laws behind it, WaterSense, and a lifetime warranty on both finish and function. It is the same set of statements as the Pfister Vaneri on this shelf, on a different hole pattern.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • The only 8-inch widespread faucet on this shelf, for sinks drilled with an 8-inch spread
  • A spout that swivels through 360 degrees, which makes a double vanity or a wide bowl easier to use
  • NSF lead-free, WaterSense, a tool-free drain and a written lifetime warranty on one listing

Compromises

  • Its spec table gives 8 in for both spout height and reach, and 7.75 in for the whole faucet's height: the spout figures cannot be relied on
  • 1.5 gpm, where the one-handle faucets here are 1.2 gpm
  • Two handles and three separate bodies mean three holes to seal and more to clean around

The questions we get

How do I know my sink is widespread?

Measure between the centers of the two outer holes. Eight inches, give or take the adjustable range a widespread body allows, is widespread; four inches is centerset, which takes the Kohler Willamette or the Moen Chateau on this shelf. A widespread faucet has three separate parts — spout and two handles — joined under the counter.

Can I trust the 8-inch spout figures?

Not as published. The same Amazon.com page lists an 8-inch spout height, an 8-inch spout reach and a 7.75-inch overall height, and a spout cannot be taller than the faucet it sits on. Treat the spout as a mid-height arc and check the maker's spec sheet if clearance under it matters.

Why does a swivel spout help?

It lets you push the water aside to fill a glass or rinse the side of a wide bowl. On a single vanity it is a convenience; on a large basin it decides whether the far corner can be rinsed.
