Product Identity
The Kingston Brass KS1978AL is a two-handle widespread lavatory faucet designed for three-hole sink installations. Its adjustable 8" to 16" spread suits a variety of bathroom layouts. Solid brass construction provides structural durability. The polished chrome and polished brass finish resists tarnishing and corrosion for a lasting classic appearance.
Installation Limits
The faucet requires 1/2" IPS male threaded inlets with rigid copper piping for supply connections. Maximum flow is 2.2 GPM (8.3 LPM) at 60 PSI. An integrated removable aerator regulates the stream. The unit meets ASME A112.18.1 and ANSI/NSF 61 Sec. 9 code requirements. All mounting hardware is included for deck-mount setup.
Upgrade Context
This model replaces older two-handle faucets that lack washerless cartridges or code-compliant flow rates. The quarter-turn Duraseal cartridge eliminates the need for frequent washer changes. The adjustable widespread range covers installations where fixed-center units cannot align. The classic Victorian styling matches period bathrooms where modern single-lever designs would look out of place.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8-to-14-inch or 8-to-16-inch spread for my three-hole sink?
The faucet adjusts from 8 to 16 inches between handle centres, so it covers the 14-inch maximum you may have seen and fits any standard three-hole layout within that range.
What does the 2.2 GPM flow rate mean for daily use at my sink?
At 60 PSI the faucet delivers up to 2.2 gallons (8.3 litres) per minute, giving a strong stream for hand-washing or filling containers without excessive splashing.
Will the 1/2-inch IPS male inlets connect to my existing supply lines?
Yes — the rigid copper inlets have 1/2-inch IPS male threads, the common North American standard for lavatory supply connections.
