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

  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.

        Bacteria on hands > water washes it onto sink > bacteria in sink > hands hit sink when washing

        In any case you can just look at the other comments here. We’re all hate it when our hands hit the sink. Not only that but those faucets make it so that the only use case for your faucets is for barely washing your hands.

        I specifically installed these in my house because they’re superior in every way. Why wouldn’t you give room to wash hands and fill bottles if you can? It’s not like vertical space is at a premium! It makes it easier to put your face under to rinse, to put bottles under, to fill something large like a steam cleaner, pretty much everything. The only thing that has been more difficult is using a Python to clean a fish tank.

        I think that rather than be defensive you would benefit from the feedback that you are getting here and use it to grow. There are serious hygiene issues with touching the inside of the sink basin while you’re washing your hands.

        You may not have received the feedback before, but it’s good advice for someone looking to do the best job possible.

  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

        Master bedroom/bathroom with a cat or dog water bowl? A WaterPik? A fish tank? A cleaning system for a fish tank (uses suction from faucet to filter the gravel). A cup? Watering small plants? A cactus you don’t want to overwater. Rinsing out a soap bottle. Rinsing out your toothbrush quietly so you don’t wake your wife. Humidifier.
