Antique Faucet FAQ
Q: How do I maintain the finish on my antique faucet?
A: For optimal maintenance, clean your antique faucet weekly with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Wax monthly with carnauba-based wax to protect the finish. For oil-rubbed bronze, use manufacturer-recommended conditioners to maintain the patina.
Q: Are antique faucets compatible with modern plumbing?
A: Yes, our antique faucets are designed with standard NPT connections that work with contemporary plumbing systems. They feature modern water-saving aerators (1.5-2.0 GPM) and ceramic disc valves while maintaining vintage aesthetics. All models meet current NSF/ANSI 61 drinking water safety standards.
Q: What's the lead time for custom antique faucet orders?
A: Standard production takes 6-8 weeks for custom finishes or special configurations. Rush services (3-4 weeks) are available for 25% surcharge. All antique faucets undergo rigorous quality control, including 72-hour pressure tests and finish inspections before shipping.
