Kingston Brass KS268ORB Kingston Clawfoot Tub Faucet, 7-Inch Center, Oil-Rubbed Bronze

I didn’t know this had quarter turn valves when I ordered it but it’s nice to have them. Install this for my wife, she loves it. It’s heavy duty, obviously high-quality and the finish is perfect. Looks great, works great, no complaints.

The quality appears to be there! We went with a different color scheme, so this never got installed and I cannot say anything about its performance, but I really liked the way it looked. It appeared to be packaged adequately, but I suggest inspecting each piece right away, because it's metal and heavy, and it was shipped in its packaging rather than inside another box. IMO the packaging isn't strong enough to withstand the rough handling it will get during shipping. The products inside are only protected by a bag of bubble wrap and small paper-thin boxes holds a couple of the pieces. Definitely look this over within your return window. Also, I bought this used, in like new condition. While this is sometimes a laughably inaccurate description of what is actually received, in this case, it was true. The parts looked great, in like new condition.

Wife is very hard to please so when the faucet on our safe step started leaking I tried this one. She liked it. Good product - well built and fairly easy to install. Adds a bit of class to an otherwise mundane tub. Would recommend you try it.

I edited this a few times as I completed the installation. I'm updating from 3 stars to 4. It does look nice, and for the warehouse deal price, it was a good deal. But connecting it to my water lines took more time than I expected.The faucet does not include the supply lines, which is frustrating. You can buy supply lines from Kingston, which would work with the connectors that come with the faucet, but they are a little on the expensive side ($40-$60), and seem to be intended for a clawfoot bathtub where you want the lines to look nice.My supply lines are not visible and so I just wanted to connect the lines to pex.The installation instructions are poor. I am an extreme DIYer and was able to figure it out, but it was much harder than it should have been.The threaded base of the faucet is 3/4" NPSM (national pipe straight mechanical), which is not the normal pipe thread NPT (which is tapered). If you buy a normal 3/4" female NPT fitting it will only go on a short way and may not seal. What you need is a 3/4" NPSM Female adapter (to attach to the male threads from the faucet) and then to convert to something else. The NPSM threads do not seal water from leaking at the fitting (because they are not tapered). A rubber washer must be used to create a seal. The adapter you buy should have a rubber washer included (like a hose has).My supply line is 1/2" pex. I was able to piece together what I needed at Lowe's. First, I tried using a a female 3/4" hose adapter, but this leaked. In the store it seemed to completely thread on the faucet base, but it leaked when I turned on the water. I needed to get a NPSM connecter to connect to the faucet and then go to 1/2" pex. I included a photo of my first failed attempt using the hose adapter.I found exactly the piece I could have used at supplyhouse, SKU UC534LF. Lowe's had a 3/4" NPSM to 3/4" PEX (SKU UC534LFZ, at other retailers it is UC534LF). I then used another adapter to go from 3/4" PEX to 1/2" PEX. The package from Lowe's was mislabeled as naving FNPT (female NPT thread) but that was a Sharkbite labeling error -- I called them and they asked me to send an email to tech support with a picture of the label (also shown in a photo). The photo with the Sharkbite bag shows the two UC530LFZ fittings I got, one assembled, one separate in the two pieces. On the right side is the fitting that comes with the faucet that would work with the Kingston supply lines (and perhaps other generic supply lines).I included a photo of what the plumbing looks like, and a photo of the installed faucet. It looks nice, but there is a card in the faucet that cautions against using abrasive cleaners. I think with care it will last a while.If you have a flexible hose connection, you need something to go from 3/4 NPSM to whatever you have coming out of your plumbing, probably 3/8" compression. A couple of adapters should get you there, but I would take the faucet to the store to make sure things fit. I went to a pumbing supply store, and thought they are more helpful than a typical Lowe's or Home Depot, the person who helped me didn't really know what they were doing.I think the faucet looks nice, but this would be a frustrating experience for someone without much experience. I got mine for about 150 as a warehouse deal, probably from another person who gave up trying to install it. Overall I like it, and think it is four stars overall.

This product works and looks better than i thought it would for the cost which is much less than many other deck mount faucets. It feels sturdy and the handles turn smoothly. The finish is also much better than I thought. It is a quality made product that I recommend.

Bought an older walk-in tub for my mother and needed to replace the faucet. Not many choices in this size at a reasonable price. This was the last expensive one I found (even compared to Home Depot and plumbing stores). Fit perfectly. Feels sturdy and decent quality. Have been using it for 3 months and no problems.
