Tired of using the pliers to turn on the antique faucets on your claw foot tub? The Royal Aqueduct Standing Waste and Faucet Assembly faithfully replicates late 1800s fixtures, including the unique lift and turn waste.

It also incorporates contemporary plumbing conveniences such as ceramic quarter-turn valves for smooth, drip-free operation, hot and cold water shut-offs and overflow valve.

This solid brass cast set can be affixed to either the wall or the tub. The centers for supply lines can be adjusted from 10" to 11". Center of waste to end of gooseneck measures 9?; center of gooseneck inlet to tip of spout measures 6.? The 6-prong handles have porcelain inserts.

Choose from uncoated brass, chrome, matte nickel, polished nickel, or super-coated brass finishes. Price is $1,465 (November 2005).
