KINGSTON BRASS KS4465PKX Metropolitan Onyx widespread lavatory faucet black finish

Product Type and Buyer Fit

This Kingston Brass Metropolitan Onyx faucet is a widespread lavatory model finished in black. It suits homeowners updating a bathroom sink with a single-handle design that fits one- or three-hole layouts on a 4-inch centerspread. The solid brass construction and tarnish-resistant coating are built for daily use in residential settings. Buyers who need a kitchen faucet or a wall-mounted lavatory filler should look elsewhere.

Installation Requirements

Verify that your sink or countertop provides either a single hole or three holes on a 4-inch center spread for deck mounting. The faucet connects via 1/2-inch IPS male threaded inlets supplied with flexible braided stainless steel lines. Water pressure at the supply should reach 60 PSI to achieve the rated 2.2 GPM (8.3 LPM) maximum flow. No electrical connection or special tools beyond standard plumbing supplies are required.

Upgrade Path and Value

The faucet replaces an older two-handle centerset or a worn single-handle unit with a 180-degree joystick cartridge and integrated removable aerator. The jump is worthwhile when the existing fixture leaks, shows corrosion, or lacks the included matching pop-up drain. Spout reach of 6-1/8 inches and 5-3/8 inches overall height fit most standard vanity bowls without modification.
