I would use the newer braided type just so you know everything is new under your counters when you install. Just make sure your fittings are tight so you don't have any issues with leaks.

sorry, I just ordered the one my handyman told me to get. It's working great....

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I think that the copper is covered by the stainless steel. I LOVE it and it has worked perfectly. My plumber who installed it said he installed one that was very similar, but 100% more expensive. He did not find anything that was harmful or he wouldn't have installed it if it weren't up to code. Hope this helps.

Make sure your solution is compatible with copper pipe (non corrosive) and it should work.

Also you need plumbing for sink if that's your question. These are fixtures that need to connect to separate water lines (hot-cold) not included and plumbing for water to drain into sewer Don't get cheap plastic lines, the metal braided is the best Good luck

I have no clue, but either will hold up longer than my washing machine. In my case it's a one time install and then I don't intend to have to mess with it again.

Unlike the other people who answered, I often run mine through the dishwasher, but as with hand washing and air drying, mine looks like new too.

I briefly had that problem. Put it in the dishwasher on high temp, sanitize settings and it'll be good as new.

I've had mine a little over a year. It arrived without a single scratch and is a pure copper bowl. The finish on it is still perfect. It doesn't sound like the bowl you got is at all like mine. Can you return or exchange it?

I use Amway metal cleaner and it shines both the stainless and copper to like new condition.

All the copper colors match...........all the same. They are so pretty......but not dish washer safe...the finish came off when I put it in the dishwasher. I got the hammered ones....love them.

Do you have good, new washers in both sides of the brass connector? Also, I am a 70 year old woman and I keep plyers handy to turn the small on / off taps as I have a little arthur in my hands.

I replaced my old stainless steel one with black, and the new black spray handle looks fine against the old stainless steel pipe. But I have no idea what the new stainless steel ones look like, so I can't answer your question. Why not just replace your old black one with a new black one?

Hi Dennis, I had To cut one end of each of the two of these I purchased to get them in my charge controller, they are thick very strong braided copper., hope that helps. -Boyd

I personally always drain the old and put in fresh. The old stuff may have little metal shavings and stuff that you dont want to leave in there. It's really thick stuff too, and I noticed a smoother shift after switching to it. I don't know I would use anything else.

We did have to go out and buy a larger PVC pipe for some hookup which may not be the case for you - the one in the box, which by the way everything is in there if you have a standard stainless sink, if you have a composite granite and it has not been hooked up before there could be some parts you need, but I would just order you may need nothing. It works fabulous and is hooked up to the dishwasher.
