Is the faucet suppose to turn 360 degrees? Seems very loose. Installed by a plumber today but not sure he knows what he's doing.

Mine was installed correctly and can turn 360 degrees easily, with no "play" (loose).

Forgot to mention that in my review. It does turn 360 degrees. My husband noticed it right away when he installed it and said to just be careful. My husband isn't a plumber but he is very handy and did a great job on the installation. It's not loose but does turn 360.

I am able to swing my faucet quite far around until it is blocked by wall behind- probably 220 degrees. There is no "loose" or wobbly feel at all- upright and solidly stable.

We had this exact faucet installed almost 3 years ago and it is not loose at all. It does turn but not 360 degrees. We love this faucet. Hope this helps. Blessings, Sandy

I would imagine it could. If there wasn't a window it seems my faucet would turn 360. HOWEVER, the black base stays in place. Still digging our faucet -we installed it in February this year. Batteries still going as well.!!!

No the faucet does not swivel. I've had no problems at all with this unit, it's beautiful.

The handle extends about 1.5" behind the rear of the faucet (2.5" from faucet center) when it's in the "hot water" position. I would recommend having a little extra space so it doesn't touch the wall - I have an extra 1". The faucet turns ALL the way from side to side - it might actually turn 360 degrees, but I can't test it since I have a wall in the way... It's an awesome faucet!

It has to be mounted on the right side. The faucet only swivels 180 degrees. It would have to rotate 360 degrees in order to reverse the handle. Also as another responder mentioned, the hot and cold is limited to a fixed 90 position.

I attempted to swivel the Hose Hideaway and it appears that it will go all the way around. (360 degrees) The only thing preventing it from going around was the hose connecting it to the faucet.

Are you sure you have installed this correctly. It is intended as a bypass. Thus there is in a sense one one vertical direction which would correspond to the original down pipe and when not in use this is open (the top of the T in the photo) and when the divert is opened the water flows out the side. The pic should be rotated 90 degrees for the installation position. It works fine for me when in the open position the roof rain drains away but in the divert position I capture the water in my holding tank. Hope this helps.

There is a small nut from the new device that is suppose to fit into position once you have removed the on-off handle from your existing spigot/faucet. Thats gotten fit or your hosed (pun intended). The best thing to do is check the manufacturere's website as they have a very helpful video that will detail the installation. Good luck.

I was able to tighten mine up so that it does not turn at all. Make sure any old gasket or caulking materials are cleaned from both upper and lower surfaces. Use proper tools to avoid damage to the unit. If you feel that you will break the tightening nut or damage the threads, try a little "Loctite" between the upper portion of the nut and sink. You can get a replacement nut if things go wrong!!

We had the same issue. Turned out it was a plumbing issue, not this device. The plumber has to balance hot & cold, to your preference. It took him less than 2 minutes to adjust it. Good luck!

Yes - the faucet will actually turn 360 degrees (depending how it is mounted) - on my bar, this is actually a negative as the faucet will go back BEHIND the sink. Also, the mounting can also swivel up or down when installed to raise and lower the height of the faucet.

yes it rotates, this is a great faucet! I put it together with the Blanco cascade sink and it looks sharp and works great

It depends. The top part of the faucet swivels about 180 degrees even after installed. There is some room for adjustment on the water valve (bottom handle), but is has to be installed to the right.

The water spout is 8 inches long and it appears to rotate 360 degrees (mine stops when it hits the wall on either side). The on/off lever rotates 90 degress - 45 to the left and right of center. Hope that answers your question. If it doesn't, feel free to ask another.

Funny question, as in I never noticed this, but yes, the model I have, ordered from Amazon, has the handle on my right (looking at the faucet straight-on). The other picture provided by Amazon, of the faucet set in a sink next to the regular faucet, is how mine appears. -- of course, now I see, from another respondent, that the handle can be manipulated to either side!

Not sure what you are asking, but maybe this will help. The hose receptacle rotates with click stops that keep it in place, just put the faucet head into the receptacle to give you some leverage and the rotate it to the desired position. Might appear a bit stff as it is new, but it should rotate. I replaced my pipe nipple in the wall with a straight one because i have a 12" rain shower head with a support arm attached and this bad boy easily supports the weight.

yes, that is a nice feature of the faucet. I installed 3 of these in my home about 1 yr ago. I really like them. They seem very solid and do swivel but I tightened mine down fairly well so they swivel but not unless you turn them with a little pressure. The only thing I will warn you is they show water spots terribly on the finish. They need to be windexed frequently in the kids bathroom to look nice.

Yes the spout turn, there is no stops on either side so it will do 360 degrees. Which is really nice because my wife can turn the spout around to water her flower pot that hangs outside the window above the sink
