Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink

  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.

    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

  I try an talk all my customers into using this brand due to the quality and serviceability of them. They should be paying me a provision. I just replaced one that was 38 years old.

    See the other comment above, these are functional shit and we all hate them.

      I would guess that the layout isn’t the whole brand.

      I said brand, not model.
