What the maker puts in writing
- “With high flow rate of 8GPM@60 PSI, it can fill tub in minutes”; a brushed nickel finish resisting corrosion and fingerprints; brass design
- “The tilted shower holder design prevents water from overflowing. The 360-degree rotating waterfall spout prevents scale clogging, easy to fold and save space”
- “This tub faucet is equipped with a water separator, making it easy to switch from bath to shower. The hand shower is made of durable brass, with 59 inch shower hose”
- “Our widespread tub faucet features a single handle design made of durable brass… The ceramic valve core operates smoothly, durable and drip-proof, tested to not drip after 600,000 uses”
- “Designed to fit 3-hole bathtubs with adjustable hole spacing, with US standard threads”
The only deck mount here with a handheld
That is the practical reason this faucet exists.
This shelf splits into two kinds that cannot substitute for each other. Floor-mounted freestanding fillers — four of the seven — stand beside the bath on their own pipe. Deck-mounted Roman tub faucets — three — fit into holes in the tub rim.
Of those three, the SUMERAIN has no handheld and the Pfister has no handheld and no valve either.
So if your bath has three holes in its rim and you want a wand for rinsing hair and washing the tub out, this is the faucet on this shelf.
Adjustable spacing, which is the other reason
Designed to fit 3-hole bathtubs with adjustable hole spacing, with US standard threads.
The holes are already drilled. Whoever built the bathroom chose the centers — often eight inches, not always — and the SUMERAIN here states flatly that it needs 3 holes of 1-1/4 inch on 8 inch centers.
Adjustable spacing bridges what is actually there.
On a replacement that is the difference between a Saturday afternoon and a tiling contractor.
Eight gallons a minute, and six hundred thousand uses
8 GPM at 60 PSI fills a 55-gallon tub in a touch under seven minutes — second only to the SUMERAIN’s 12.16 on this shelf, and quoted with its test pressure, which the ryuwanku listings do not do.
A ceramic valve tested to 600,000 uses, matching the SUMERAIN and four times the only other published figure here.
The valve is the only part of a faucet that wears, and a drip is the only reason most faucets get replaced.
The small sentence worth reading
The tilted shower holder design prevents water from overflowing.
A handheld parked upright in a cradle holds a little water in the head, which runs out onto the deck the next time it is lifted. Tilting the cradle drains it.
Nobody else on this shelf mentions it, and anyone who has mopped a tub surround will recognize the problem.
What $209.99 does not buy
No warranty. The most expensive faucet on this shelf publishes none, where ryuwanku gives five years at $89.99 and Pfister a limited lifetime at $106.61.
No certification. SUMERAIN and WOODBRIDGE publish ASME A112.18.1, which American plumbing codes require.
No spout reach, which on a waterfall spout mounted on a tub rim is precisely the figure that decides whether the sheet of water lands in the bath or down the side of it.
And no weight, where the brass content is most of the argument for the price.
