American Standard Taps - The Touchstone For Faucets For Toilet Refurbishment

Posted in: Miscellaneous

I recently refurnished my home and let me tell you, it was messy. Specifically the plumbing. I do not care what anybody says - it's supposed to be easy work and simple, but it simply is not half as easy as it's supposed to be. When we applied it with American standard faucets & American standard toilets, we were plagued by all sorts of problems. The American standard faucets did not seem to fit the piping we had at the start, and we were continuously beset by leaks that threatened to ruin the floor. The American standard toilets wouldn't set on the floor correctly, and so we needed to use the bathroom sitting side-ways for an entire week, and hold fast to the shower curtains for support. I'll tell you, trying to install our American standard faucets and American standard toilets gave us an American standard mess.

It wasn't really about the American standard taps and American standard toilets, but more about the layout of the pipes. They were old pipes, and we even suspected there may be lead solder in them, which is a frightening thought. The new pipes were of a different size which was more properly callibrated to the American standard faucets and American standard toilets, but they wouldn't correctly fit in the holes made for the old pipes. So we had the problem of the American standard taps, toilet, tub, and other fixtures not fitting exactly with the plumbing which, no matter how hard we tried to jury rig it, brought on leaks. Our fabric shower curtains were sitting in dampness on the floor.

Of course, even without the difficulties with the American standard faucets, we would have really had a lot of difficulty. American standard faucet or not, you really can not do anything about the hard water if you live in a country community like ours without installing expensive and hard to operate, water softening system. Before we did that, our shower curtains were crunchy and stiff as if we had starched them. And American standard taps, and American standard toilets and tubs do nothing for you if your water pressure is abyssmal, which believe me, ours is. So what ought to have taken nothing more than a week or maybe two ended up taking us months and months & while we struggled to install our American standard faucets, the bills kept piling up. Installing our American standard plumbing was a nightmare, and ended up costing us much more than it would have to simply hire someone to do it. Next time, if God forbid there's a next time, we are hiring someone to fix our American standard faucets and plumbing.
