The included escutcheon completes the ensemble for a more finished look.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected Replaced older, more expensive Delta faucet where cartridge could not be changed due to stripped set screw. Was height limited by cabinet above sink. Wanted magnetic coupling but unavailable in faucet that fit. Surprisingly, this faucet recoils and mates easier than the one it replaces.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Beautiful faucet, worked well for first 2 years Beautiful faucet, worked well for a couple of years then began leaking (hard to shut off flow) due to cartridge (part # RP50587Y). Florida water is hard and hard on the cartridge. Delta is gracious enough to send replacement cartridges under warranty; otherwise, at $40 a pop for a new cartridge, I would not be able to afford to keep it. First cartridge lasted 2 years, the second lasted for almost 3 years. I miss the o-ring replacement type faucets. Rating would be lower but saved by the great warranty service.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Flawed design, now leaks I purchased at Home Depot about a year ago and although it is pretty solid, the design of the switch makes it difficult to fully close consistently. Now, over time, the faucet has started to leak. I never had this issue with my Moen faucet because their switch/valve made it easier to fully shut off. I was hoping this faucet would last longer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very disappointed I purchased this faucet and it worked well for a few months. Now the spray nozzle gets stuck in the faucet and nearly impossible to remove and insert as it should. I tried lubricants to help; however, to no avail.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install if you’re replacing a newer faucet It took my son and I a full day to install the faucet. I had a faucet that was about 15 years old, and it was leaking and in bad shape. I bought this faucet at Home Depot and brought it home just to find out the water lines were a different size. We had to make three trips back to Home Depot to find the right adaptor. If your faucet is over fifteen years old they changed the standard for faucets since then, but that was about the only problem we ran into a couple more hiccups because the directions were not that good. Other than that for the first day the water flow and sprayer worked great, compared to what I had it is a dream.

installing on a stainless steel sink

Can the Grant faucet be installed on a stainless steel sink, that is, is there a minimum sink thickness for installing this faucet? If approved for installation in a stainless steel sink are there any additional installation steps not shown in the installation instructions?
Asked by: EdRo
Hi EdRo, Thank you for your question! This model does not have a minimum deck thickness and will work on a stainless steel sink. Best regards, Jon

does this faucet swivel? I don't mean the pull out handle, I mean does the whole faucet swivel on the base? I can't tell from the specs.

Asked by: behie

Which water filter for Grant

Which water filter is compatible with the Grant faucet
Asked by: JJ
Hi JJ, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend to use attach a water filter on the end of a pull-out or pull-down faucet. However, you can use any filtration system that is installed below the sink that has a 3/8" connection or adapter. Best regards, Jon
