But why… you will hit your hands on the edge when you try to wash them. I hate these kinds of faucets, there’s literally no way to put your hands under them without smacking them into the sink. And I have small hands!!!
And you also only use 30% of the sink.
A giant oversight, i agree
Its terribly annoying and its almost all faucets, in restrooms
Even my own
They're very easy to swap out (as long as your glue and caulk have set). The Moen Bode provides ample space under the spout and is available off the shelf and most bigbox hardware stores.
I'm with you. Washing your hands in one of these faucet is like trying to fuck a fat chick in a phone booth
I have no trouble with it myself.
Your hands literally hit the sink 8 times in your own video…
I genuinely don't see the issue with that. I've installed probably around 500 faucets in my career, and not once has a customer ever pushed for a different model just because they don't want to make physical contact with the sink.
I'd get it if it was so tight it actually got in the way of washing your hands, but that's not the case here.
Bacteria on hands > water washes it onto sink > bacteria in sink > hands hit sink when washing
In any case you can just look at the other comments here. We’re all hate it when our hands hit the sink. Not only that but those faucets make it so that the only use case for your faucets is for barely washing your hands.
I specifically installed these in my house because they’re superior in every way. Why wouldn’t you give room to wash hands and fill bottles if you can? It’s not like vertical space is at a premium! It makes it easier to put your face under to rinse, to put bottles under, to fill something large like a steam cleaner, pretty much everything. The only thing that has been more difficult is using a Python to clean a fish tank.
I think that rather than be defensive you would benefit from accepting the feedback that you are getting here and use it to grow. There are serious hygiene issues with touching the inside of the sink basin while you're washing your hands.
You may not have received the feedback before, but it's good advice for someone looking to do the best job possible.
I don't pick the faucet models - my customers do. I just install them.
If they were unhappy with the previous one, they'd choose something different next time, but they don't. To me, that says they see zero issue with it.
I can literally walk into any house around here, and the bathroom faucet will be nearly identical to this one. Kitchen faucets are bigger, and most places have a utility sink too, but this is the standard for bathrooms.
I have installed ones that I think were genuinely bad as well but again - the customer chose it, not me. I'm not going to start talking them out of it.
The brand I recommend them to use does have multiple different designs in their catalog but people rarely buy those but rather prefer the standard one like the one in the picture.
Depends on the angle of the flow out of the tap. I switched out a tap with an identical looking replacement, that just had a 20 degree or so andle on the plastic spout bit that made a huge difference.
But then you can’t use it with a low flow, for example to fill something slowly or carefully.
I can't think of a single time I would be trying to do that in a washroom sink
Master bedroom/bathroom with a cat or dog water bowl? A WaterPik? A fish tank? A cleaning system for a fish tank (uses suction from faucet to filter the gravel). A cup? Watering small plants? A cactus you don’t want to overwater. Rinsing out a soap bottle. Rinsing out your toothbrush quietly so you don’t wake your wife. Humidifier.
ok, let me rephrase, I can't think of a single time I would be trying to do that where the limited space would be a concern
I try talking all my customers into this brand because of the quality and how serviceable they are. They ought to be paying me commission.
I just replaced one that was 38 years old.
See the other comment above, these are functionally shit and we all hate them.
I would guess that the layout doesn't equal brand. They would have different models, and other brands might have awkward corner faucets as well.
I said brand, not model.
My hands fit under it just fine though.
Did you mount the sink with glue?
Yeah, silicone-like adhesive. It sits on top of a cabinet, and that's exactly how the manufacturer says to install it. Toilet ~~seat~~ got glued in as well.
Toilet seat got glued in as well.
I've gotta see a picture of this too. I've never seen a toilet seat that wasn't bolted to the toilet.
I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.
First time for everything. It's a friction fit.
But yeah I mean the toilet. In my language toilet refers to the entire room and toilet seat is the thing you shit into.
I see what you mean now.
Even still, our toilets in the US are bolted to the floor and only sealed with caulking along the floor to keep water from pooling underneath and rotting the floor. With our American diets, we rely on the structural rigidity of metal bolts to keep things in place during our massive dumps
This came with installation hardware too, but a lot of new toilets don't even have holes for bolts nowadays. The adhesive is more than sufficient to hold it down to the floor tiles. The silicone caulking I use to tidy it up afterwards just adds to that hold.
The main reason to not use bolts is to avoid drilling into the floor and puncturing the water proofing membrane or floor heat pipes/cables.
When toilets are bolted to the floor you don't drill into the floor, the bolts are captive in a pre installed toilet flange that was placed before the flooring was installed.
Modern adhesives are pretty insanely strong.
you don't put in a wax ring?
Only on our giant asses.
Yes, we have that
Yeah thats just a seal to keep the poop in but not what holds it down to the floor (mostly).
But it's also the big reason first time installers struggle. They tighten those bolts too much and crack three porcelain.
Oh, it's a cabinet sink. That makes more sense now.
Yeah, I thought it was a wall-mount too until reading OPs comments
Toilet seat got glued down? Are you a vengeful sitzpinkler?
I meant the toilet itself.
And yes.
I think the sink just sits on the cabinet. They are often glued on or just held on by the silicone. This sink probably has mounting holes tho
oh no, the "i knew better and still did it" feeling, one of the worst, my condolences
It's because you tried to force it.
Now it’s art!
Structural hoses I assume?
Prop it up on some milk cartons like my old landlord did.
Couple screws and it will be ready to go/j
