are the faucets sold at plumb supply stores a different grade (higher quality) than those sold at home improvement stores?

The big box stores sometimes get their own version of faucets due to large purchases. I think most of the differences are related to the water connections. The plumbing supply stores do not always have a water connection already attached. They assume that the plumber installing the faucet is proficient. This differs in the big box stores because of their clientele. Unless you spend alot of money on faucets you get cheap quality. They still work and last along time but you get plastic coated to look like metal. Faucets have really changed from metal to plastic in the last 5 years.

I don't recall what brand and yes it looks exactly as shown. I bought my own Moen 8" spread faucets and had the plumber install them instead of the ones that came with it.

Supply lines are NOT included with the faucet. This is typical as there are several length sizes for supply lines for installation based upon the sink set up.

I don't know because this faucet did not work for me. We found one that worked locally.

If I'm understanding your question, I'd say Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware or a plumbing supply house. If you're unsure of the diameter, take the faucet along when you go shopping.

The major internal faucet components, valves, valve seats (parts that wear with age and use) are all brass. We have the stainless steel finish. We bought the faucets independently and they were installed by a plumber during our renovation. He commented that they were high quality and that we bought very good faucets. The plumbing connections to the valves are plastic, but most new quality faucets are. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this faucet.

I am not certain about the bathtub faucets, we have never had them in stock here. We have only sold the sink faucets. Sorry I couldn't be more help with your question.

I compared these directly to the stainless steel bar pulls from Home Depot and could not tell a difference. They are very heavy considering their size so I would have to think that they are stainless steel. And they're at a fraction of the cost from the ones sold at Home Depot. My wife was very happy with them as well which was a plus.

I have no idea. I don't know what low lead compliant means. This particular faucet is stainless steel-as far as I can tell, all of it.

If both of these are Kingston faucets, the model differences may be very slight and may be internal, such as the cartridges used to control flow and pressure. If possible buy a branded faucet from Kingston (make sure it is from Kingston Brass), I initially purchased a slightly cheaper model thinking it was a Kingston product and it was even advertised as such and it turned out to be a Knock-off that was inferior and created a huge hassle when the hot water cartridge broke and could not be sourced. I should have realised it was a copy when it arrived on a slow boat from China.

I really don't know, but it looks really nice and we like it a lot. I had the same issue with the wrong finish on the faucet, and they also replaced ours without a problem.

One thing you might want to know is that the handles are not exactly as pictured. They do not have the white tops that say H and C. Also both faucets work in the same direction and not opposite left and right. The quality is very good. I bought 2 faucet stems or inserts for the vendor so that I had spares when I needed them. This stem is also on ebay in quite a few sites. I just like to gave spares when I need them. Nice antique brass finish. This vendor will bend over backwards to make sure that you are satisfied. him to email a picture of the exact handle that is on this faucet set.I hope that this helps.

I have not noticed any difference. I like this faucet a lot. The handles feel substantial, the water pressure excellent, and looks beautiful.
