Roman Tub Faucets

Roman tub faucets provide a simple yet important function for the bathroom. These faucets provide a rapid way to fill a large garden or whirlpool tub with a high volume of water flow. Without roman tub faucets, it could take up to thirty minutes to fill a large tub. Many of these faucets are available not only in the ½ inch pipe fitting, but also in the 34 inch high flow pipe fitting. This allows for a tub to be filled so quickly that you do not lose any of the warmth of the water. Even the ½ inch pipe fitting faucets generally will fill a tub fast enough to maintain the water temperature. Selecting a roman tub faucet is a relatively simple process as long as you follow one rule. That rule is to make sure that you have enough deck space on your tub to be able to accommodate the size faucet that you purchase. As simple as this rule may seem in choosing a faucet, it is the mistake that people make most often when selecting a tub faucet. It is important to remember to check to see how much room you will need for the faucet, when the handles are in the “off” and in the “on” position. This is especially true if you choose a roman tub faucet with lever handles as they take up more space. If you are replacing an existing roman tub faucet, it is important to make sure that the new faucet requires the same hole drillings as the previous faucet. If this is not a possibility, we would recommend selecting a faucet that has an adjustable spread rough in valve. This is a great way to replace a really old faucet that might not have a standard faucet hole spread.
