Millenium Centerset Lavatory Faucet
The Kingston Brass KS8648ZX is a centreset lavatory faucet finished in satin nickel. Its traditional spout lines and multi-stepped base plate suit classic bathroom decors. Solid brass construction and a quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridge provide lasting durability. The unit fits two-hole sinks with four-inch centres.
Flow Rate and Cartridge Operation
Maximum flow is 2.2 GPM or 8.3 LPM at 60 PSI. The quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridge delivers smooth handle action and drip-free performance. Solid brass body resists corrosion during daily use. No special tools are required beyond standard supply connections.
Sustained Use Behaviour
Under continuous operation the ceramic cartridge maintains consistent flow without pressure drop. Brass construction dissipates heat from hot water lines to prevent surface discomfort. The satin nickel finish resists water spotting and mineral buildup over time. Designed for reliable service in residential lavatory installations.

Questions about this item
How do I install this 4 in. centerset faucet on a two-hole sink, and what step is often missed?
Mount the faucet body through both 4 in. spaced holes, secure the locknuts underneath, then connect the 1/4 turn ceramic disc cartridge supply lines — forgetting to seat the cartridge fully before tightening causes drips.
What part will need replacement first and how often?
The 1/4 turn ceramic disc cartridge is the primary wear item; in typical residential use it lasts several years before the seals degrade and the handle stiffens or leaks.
At what flow rate does the 2.2 GPM limit engage during sustained use?
The aerator restricts flow to a maximum of 2.2 GPM at 60 PSI, so extended runs never exceed 8.3 LPM regardless of supply pressure.
