Product Identity

The Kingston Brass NB1970AL Water Onyx is a widespread lavatory faucet finished in Black Nickel. It suits homeowners seeking a traditional two-handle design with a Victorian-style spout for bathroom sinks.

Upgrade Context

This faucet replaces older widespread models that require two mounting holes spaced at 12.5 inches. The jump is worth it when the existing valve leaks or the finish has worn, and a washerless disc cartridge is preferred for drip-free operation.

Interface Limits

Installation demands a three-hole sink or countertop with the specified 12.5-inch center spread. The Black Nickel coating meets ASTM B117 and ASTM B368 standards, yet the faucet lacks WaterSense certification and includes no sprayer function.

Questions about this item

What hole spacing does the 12.5 in. widespread faucet require on the countertop?

The faucet is designed for a 12.5 in. center-to-center spread, so the two mounting holes must be drilled exactly that distance apart.

How do the washerless disc cartridges install, and what common step causes leaks?

Insert each cartridge into its valve body with the tabs aligned to the notches, then tighten the retaining nut by hand plus a quarter turn; skipping the alignment tabs is the step that causes drips.

When should the black nickel finish be resealed to maintain the ASTM B117 and B368 corrosion rating?

Reapply a thin coat of clear, non-abrasive lacquer every 16 months or whenever water stops beading on the surface to preserve the salt-spray protection.
