Well this one is tough for me to admit as I hate Delta but this is a darn good 2 handle faucet. There, I said it. :icon_redface:
It has a built in foam seal for the base( no need for caulk or plumber's putty ). The finish seems to very thick. The packaging was very good. While I have my reservations on plastic pop-ups, this one seems to be very thick walled and may even be fiber reinforced. The "threadless" shank on the pop-up means you don't need to apply pipe dope (I did anyway though just out of habit) to keep it from leaking and it installs in seconds.
I do have one complaint. I don't like the flimsy plastic push rod on the pop-up actuator. It feals realy cheap and seam like it might break if used frequently.
The thing that I like the most about this faucet is the fact that it's one solid hunk of brass from the supply tube threads to the aerator threads. It's HEAVY! You could bludgeon someone to death with it and I like that in a faucet :thumbsup:
I give it 4.5 pipe wrenches out of 5 (only because of the cheap plastic push rod)
