American Standard Saybrook | This is a dandy faucet that can deliver filtered drinking water with the touch of a button.
American Standard Saybrook Filtered Kitchen Faucet - Beefy!
I've been a master plumber since age 29 and have installed countless faucets. I decided to switch out my basement kitchen faucet and install the American Standard Saybrook Filtered Faucet.
It was a breeze, but only because I've done lots of jobs like this.
Where the Installation Instructions Great?
Honestly, I thought they were lacking. I feel a DIYr that has never put in a faucet before will struggle and get frustrated quite fast. The instructions rely on illustrations to try to get you to do everything right, but if you don't know how to interpret the small parts, you'll miss a step.
Did You Have any Leaks?
No. American Standard designed all the hose connections so they have the correct compression washers or o-rings. It was really easy to create a leak-free installation with just an adjustable wrench.
What Tools Did you Need?
I needed the following tools to remove the old faucet and install the new one:
- plumber's basin wrench
- Phillips #2 screwdriver
- 8-inch adjustable wrench - two of them
How Long Did It Take You?
It only took me 90 minutes at a leisurely pace to remove the old sink faucet and have this one operational.
What Important Tips Can You Share?
- Read the instructions and try to understand them.
- Assemble all the tools you need before you start
- REMOVE the aerator before you turn on the water! Be careful about misplacing the small black washer!
This is the old faucet I was replacing.
The old faucet is gone and I've cleaned and polished the shelf of the stainless-steel sink. Don't skip this step.
Here's the finished faucet. I'd recommend this to any family member, friend or YOU! CLICK or TAP HERE to purchase one now.
