I have read some installation horror stories about 3/8 vs. 1/2" supply lines, will this work with US plumbing without trips to purchase other parts?

My contractor installed it I believe everything was there except a seal he had to add

My plumber did all the work...really don't know but I think he bought a slimmer supply line.....not sure.. but faucet works great!

As stated by other buyers here, the faucet comes with the kit, so as long as your faucet has the standard old 3 3/8 spacing, you will be OK. However, be aware that, depending on the age of the old faucet and the location of the tub, the removal will likely be a bear, and the tub may have to be dragged out at an angle to get good access to the old, rusty mounting nuts. Recommended that you get a plumber, because while you're in there, you should definitely replace the old supply lines and shutoff valves. Also, look for new 90 degree supply adapters. Finally, be aware that building codes in most areas require an "anti-siphon" faucet for clawfoot applications (faucet mouth is inside the tub)--the unit sold with the kit may not be compliant, but unless you're doing a permit on this change, you don't really need to worry too much.

I am using the 3/8" hose. You could try the 7/16 but will connectors be compatible?

Hi... Amazon sent me your question as a consumer. I got this connector and it works fine with a standard bathroom sink - the threads are about 1/2 inch deep. The real issues is that the threads strip way too easily - I'd invest in the copper fitting instead... A Phililps

The 3/8 5/8 defines the type of tubing the fittings will accept. You'll need to match up the thread size of the fittings, which should be G1/4" like on this reservoir's in/out ports.

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

To be sure go buy a one inch male pipe thread coupling. It has the male on both ends looks tapered (large in middle gets smaller on the tips) hold it up to the one going into yours. 3/4 and 1" are pretty different look at both at the store maybe even get both you can return them. You will know right away.

I used the same size (1/2) for a pvc 1/2 with some couplers and works ok. Read a little more. I think ABS pipe is not for water feeding.

Yea, that makes a lot more sense than paying for a 3/8 inch hose and then restricting it to just 1/4" at each end. But the reason that they do that is that the cheapy connectors that are so popular in the home stores are the crappy 1/4" ones. I throw those in the garbage and use the larger 3/8" connectors. My air tools, especially the rotary ones, are much happier with the larger connectors. In fact, the documentation with some of them require at least a 3/8" air flow path to achieve the designed performance. Using 1/4" fittings would have crippled those tools. That said, this hose should be fine for low air consumption devices like nailers, etc... Just beware...

I believe that all of these shower valves are sized the same and seem to recall it to be 1/2". If you can get to a plumbing supply outlet and get the size of one you should have the size of all.The 1/2" was disappointing because I was seeking a drench type of flow.Finally realized I would have to replumb using non standard fittings and valves to get it done.

No, that combination will not work for this fitting. For nominal 1/2" OD copper there are 2 types; tubing (.500 OD) and Types K, L pipe (.625 OD). 3/8" PEX is .500 OD; 1/2" PEX is .625 OD.

May not fit all. The 3 3/8" refers to distance between holes where faucet attaches to tub, where plumbing enters tub. Good luck.

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

I'm not sure exactly. I thought this was more of a system piece that would work only with certain faucet or handles. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

Do not use 1/2 inch pipes, you will get better results with the wider pipe. Do not use plastic/PVC piping, use copper.
