Title: Longer reach bathroom faucet?
Post by: aaron7 on October 01, 2013, 11:02 PM
Tired of punching the back of the sink to wash my hands and getting water everywhere. Seems my faucet neck is just too short.

Do they make bathroom faucets with longer necks so I can use the sink?

And is there any difference with these vs home faucets? So many more to choose from if not!

Home ones work better

Anything different with home faucet hookups or mounts? Or will it all just bolt right on?

Bolts right in as long as the faucet you buy is for 4 inch hole spacing, which is pretty much every bathroom faucet sold.  We use household ones ourselves since there are more choices and they are made better.  Kitchen faucets have wider spaced holes.

Hi Don.  That is one of those bar sink taps, right?  Good idea, I might change ours to that type also.  Joan

Change your bathroom sink into a bar - like a beer tap spigot?  Sounds like a GREAT idea, Joan!
