Hi. We have an old style faucet now, with three holes in top of sink. Is faucet installable for us & is it lead free compliant w/ copper water feeds? Thanks.

Faucet meets all compliance issues but is for a one hole installation only. You might be able to buy separately a base plate to cover, but it does not come with one. Ps. This faucet is amazing - well worth the money
936775
Nope, is single hole - compliant but relevant since you cannot use it as a replacement for current three hole
936776
Only one hole is needed for the installation of this Grohe faucet, if the other holes arent too large you might be able to use one of the holes to put an integrated soap pump in... I beleive it may be lead free Compliant you can check on the Grohe website.

Yes you simply purchase the matching Grohe 07552SD0 10 Inch Euro Escutcheon to cover the extra holes. Lead free water feeds with quick connect braided stainless lines

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

Please define lead free? The construction is mostly brass. I do not know is brass has any lead content. I would assume not because we sell 1000's of the same pumps (minus the hose connectors) to municipalities to use in metering the water supply usage.

Your kitchen faucet contains far more lead than this device. Anything with brass or similar metals will have lead. Just don't lick the tape measure and you'll be ok.

I do not know the answer to your question and am completely surprised that you would ask it . May I ask why you would think it has lead in it and if so where did you get that information . We have three of these faucets and am very please with the style and seem to be wonderful . Thank you in advance. Patricia Morgan

Hello, I believe the brass fittings for the faucet will contain lead. It all depends on the type of brass forging for the fittings. I did not check the product specifications to see exactly the type of forging. For the faucet to be sold in CA in particular, the forging needs to be NSF/ANSI 61 certified and conform to UNS C89833 forging. This type of forging will say "lead free" but in reality it has a maximum of 0.25% lead by weight. Other types of brass forgings will have around 2-8%. Due to the process of forging, some lead will be present in the brass, it is just a matter of which forging has less of it. The CA forging requirement is about as stringent on lead as it gets. So to answer the question, yes, it will have traces of lead in the brass fittings. However much less than other products in other states.

No, you need a 3rd hole for the faucet. I drilled a hole for the faucet without any trouble since the sink is made of fiber

Hi Sandra, I have this sink and it does not have faucet holes. Traditionally farm sinks do not have them because the faucets go directly into the countertop behind the sink itself. Hope this helps.

I purchased mine from amazon warehouse that is why I got a lower price. I am not able to test it for lead, but it is my understanding that faucets with these curved spouts contain lead to make the curve. So I can't answered you on that. Their customer service department is not very knowledgeable.

Yes, I have a single hole faucet (Delta Faucet 9197T-AR-DST Cassidy, Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O Technology, Arctic Stainless) with this sink. I installed a soap dispenser and a garbage disposal button in the two extra holes. The holes come plugged so there is no need to install anything in the extra holes if you have no desire to.

The faucet head is metal. Standard size for mounting hole. Can be mounted either side or in front.

We just received the sink and haven't installed it yet but it doesn't have faucet holes. It's an under mount sink. You'll have to drill a hole through the counter for the faucet.

Hi! As you can see in the picture, there are no faucet holes. We knew we were installing a wall mount faucet, and chose this sink accordingly. It is undermount; we built a base mount for it, and the countertop was cut to rest around & against the sink tightly, with a thin bead of caulk in between The only thing I would do differently now, is mount the faucet lower on the wall and use a faucet that extends out farther, as we have "splash" problems with water getting on the counter part at the top/back portion of sink. But, this was a design flaw on our part; all-in-all we are very happy with this sink. I hope this helps! Hi! As you can see in the picture, there are no faucet holes.

I understand your concern regarding the lead but I have another question for you:all the other faucets you have in the house, mainly the kitchen are made from what material? Lead in brass is a stabilized component, is not just "leaking" lead. This device is mainly for the showering water, it's intent is not to filter drinking water. Anyway, as far as I can see myself, its internal surface is also chromed and the water contact with the casing is minimal as long as it has sealing o-rings both at entry and exit of the water. Our personal experience with it was that after an usual shower we did not have the itchy back skin as before which we find as a good sign. I hope that this helps.

I ordered a brushed nickel faucet and drain. The faucet is one of those used for hot water dispensers - tall and slender. It looks VERY nice with the sink. BUT I haved brushed nickel throughout my house for faucets. I also have a cream colored wall behind the sink so the brushed nickel blends in better than a bronze one would. I didn't want it to jump out. Very nice sink though!

Yes, this can be compatible. I have done it with my own stainless steel sink. There are plugs that you can buy via Amazon to plug up those extra holes. Depending on the gauge of sink you have I recommend installing a support board under the faucet mounts to improve its rigidity, as the sink steel flexes a bit around the faucet without it.

Hi. Brass is a lead alloy and pipes are supposed to be lead free. However this is only 1 inch of brass. If you have elevated levels of lead I would stay away from this. You try it and get a water sample. I like the brass ones because they are built better and made to last. Plastic ones crack.
