Should the AS logo be etched in center of base? Mine is off center when handle is square to sink.

I think they are supposed to be that way. I have used two of the faucets, and both are a little to the left of center.

never noticed the logo all that much----but looking at the faucet in sink---which is square to sink-- the logo is in the center. faucet is fantastic all in all.

I made it so the logo is centered, which makes the handle a little off square but i think that is what the design was suppose to be? I really love this faucet.

I don't know. This faucet is in a rental unit so not easy to check this. --Cheriel

the entire bottom is not slanted toward the drain, only a half inch or so around the drain is rounded/slanted to allow drainage. With this large a sink, it would be better to have a slight slant, that's true. BTW, Franke sinks are made of junk stainless steel, probably from China. I will never buy another.

We were able to rotate the spout after install without difficulty. After installation I noticed that the spout was too close to the edge of the sink and therefore hard to use with a mug or pot. I simply pushed the spout from the spout itself (not the base) and moved it about an inch. We may have had it a little looser than you do - but, it's not an easy push nor will it move more than the inch.

just make sure you cut out for the correct center of sink and you will have to change plumbing some.

My plumber siliconed the base to granite several times, but the seal always breaks and it leaks profusely. Paid more to the plumber compared to cost of sink. Not sure how to fix it anymore.

Unless you had a similar sink before, you'll likely need to have your counter top redesigned/recut/redone to fit this sink. As you can see in the picture, it is rounded on the back and to fully appreciate the design, wouldn't you want your countertop to echo that flow?

mine is always a little bit off center, never can get it just right, but it's not all the way around by the handle... that would be frustrating!

I don't recall. We anticipated a issue since we changed increased the sink depth which changes where the drain goes. It is a excellent piece.

The drain is mounted towards the rear and is built in. The problem is, the drain should be in the middle as it ponds and stays dirty in the center! What is wrong with this manufacturer? Don't they have a level? Maybe just an over intelligent engineer that does not know plumb and level? Water runs down hill?

I was originally going to mount it with the handle in front but I put it in sideways and it works just fine. I had a space problem putting the handle in front. My Corian sink is undermounted to the Corian top and the hole drilled needed to be offset another 3/8 of an inch to work. I would not worry about putting the handle to the side the way it's pictured. My marital factor initially disapproved of the side setup, but has not complained since day one.

Thank you for your inquiry.Please check to make sure your plumber attached the round weight on the hose under the sink? It comes with the faucet. This could be the issue.Kind Regards,

They sent me another sink and this one was fine. I saw similar sinks for sale (not by Nantucket, but same style undermount) when I chose my granite, and those were not completely on center either. It's the kind of detail that really bothers me, but most people wouldn't notice that something is off by 1/2 inch or so. Sink is nice otherwise. Happy with the replacement sink they sent me for no additional fee.

I just put it over the drain in my bathroom sink. Every once in a while, it doesn't form a seal so now I press it down with my fingers until there's about an inch of water covering it. That may be because the sink is curved. I am very happy with it, because now I only need one sinkful of water; before, the sink's plunger/stopper was leaking badly enough that I had to refill the sink to wash my hair.

Yes, but DON'T use it because the corners are WAY too rounded to look right with the corners of the sink.

If the whole assembly is loose on the basin- NO - Look under the sink and find a nut that tightens the bracket that holds the faucet assembly to the sink. I had a similar situation when we installed it. Had to tighten a couple times - if you are familiar with thread locker, you might want to put a dab of the blue, non hardening nonpermanent locker on the stem where the nut tightens. I might have used a dab of pipe compound or even soft permatex - forgot which now but its stayed tight for a couple yrs now. Good luck with it.

I went on line and looked under images, I never drilled a hole/pit in the floor, resistance against the bottom of the sink and floor, (pointy end down), seem to keep it in place, I took a level to it, I did a 'trial' fit first thinking I would go back and add the 'beauty' ring/floor cap but haven't , its been three months, and it has worked well, good luck

At first it was straight up. Over the past week I see that it is at an angle.I have not tried to fix it. Even at an angle it still drains well.
