Beautifully crafted faucet
The faucet was designed for a wide (8inch+) installation. However, following the maxim "Happy wife, Happy Wife" I tried and successfully added it to a traditional 6 inch sink. I gave it five stars for appearance, ease of installation and overall quality then ordered a second one. The faucet is beautifully crafted with a simple yet distinctive look. While I was worried about my narrow installation the faucet retains its remarkable appearance. We found it handsomely compliments the existing features in both bathrooms. The unique flat water stream both uses less water, yet has the pressure to quickly get soap off your hands. Installation is easy by design. Clear intuitive installation with all action steps designed to be easy to do in hard to reach places. The valve bodies are separated allowing quick alignment during installation. On the bottom of the valves are clear, color coded arrows to clearly mark the direction for installation and the handles simply sit on top. To help with alignment I used a T square first on the valves, then again with the tap (pictured). Best of all the kit includes a plastic multi-tool designed to work in closed spaces, no other tool needed. Once the fixtures are secured the supply lines just click into place. Add the handles using the provided allen wrench and you’re done! Pro Tip: Use a square to help line everything up. Much easier than eyeballing it!

A great faucet, slightly difficult to install, but many great features
This is a very nice faucet. I was surprised by both its quality and function. The handles move very well and the water flow is decent. The spout is flat, and it creates a similarly flat flow to the water. While it doesn't add anything in terms of function, it's an interesting effect that I like. The drain pop-up assembly is push button, so there is no rod to pull or push behind the spout. Simply push the drain to close it, and push it again to open it. It's a nice touch and makes the faucet distinctive. Installation was interesting. Aligning the faucet bodies was tricky. It took some time and trial and error to properly align each faucet and get the handles to move along the correct arc. Connections are quick via simple push to connect fittings. The faucet comes with a special wrench for tightening all of the hex nuts and completing the install. That wrench is the only tool needed for the install. There are two male to male reducing adapters that are used to connect the supply lines to the faucet. The included wrench will tighten the adapters to the 1/2" supply lines, and the faucet connections can be made to the other end of the adapters and tightened by finger - no wrench required. Not having to work a plier behind the sink was very nice and made completing the installation very easy. Overall, I really like the faucet - despite the difficulties installing. After installing it, my wife and I are considering moving it and getting a second one for our master bath sinks.

Very clean appearance and easy to install. The pop-up drain makes installation very simple.

Poor Quality
Looks great but very low water pressure and the plastic connectors look and feel very cheap. I can't see the plastic connectors lasting more than a few years before they spring leaks as I've read about in other reviews.The low water pressure is a result of the very small water lines that run from the faucet to the spout. Finally, the spout from one of my sets was clogged out of the box and it couldn't be taken apart and cleaned so it had to be returned. For the price, the quality of this faucet set is very disappointing. We will not purchase Pfister again.

    Hello BigDC, The Venturi Bath faucet flows at a maximum rate of 1.2 gallons per minute at 60 PSI. This should create a ribbon of water flowing from the faucet spout. If the faucet is experiencing low water pressure, we have provided a link below to the maintenance guide for this model that shows how to remove and clean the inlet adapters to remove any debris or particles that may have gotten caught up in the screens. Please refer to the 3rd page and step “Adaptor Cleaning.” If this doesn’t restore the flow, the cartridge may need to be replaced. Please call our Support Team at 1-800-732-8238 for assistance to resolve this right away. Maintenance Guide: https://pfisterstorage.blob.core.windows.net/documents/pf_uc_lf049-vn_50723_l.pdf Thank you, Pfister

      Bad handles
      I bought this and the handle is totally broken. No reason at all does not turn and I can’t find just the one part I will need to buy a whole new set!

        Water Flow is a HUGE issue.
        Purchased the faucet less than 6 months ago and it now has consistently low water flow. I took it aper and cleaned it as per the maintenance guide;no change in flow. Disappointed to see similar complaints in other reviews. The design seems to be a common issue. Disheartening experience. Looking for a replacement from a different brand. Sort by low reviews and read them before buying this! This was a waste of time and money.
