Need bathtub filling faucet with decent gpm
Comments (38)Wow so much info coming in. YOU WANT HIGH FLOW TUB FILLER?? READ... HERE IT IS..... So much bad info above, even from the pros. Everyone just living with the poor performance of all the new stuff out there. I am a mechanical engineering technologist - I tested my old and new fillers. MY 1980s TUB FILLER... ( I refer to the complete faucet set with valve set as the FILLER) fills my old boring tub to the over flow in 4 minutes. My piping is 1/2" copper and my velocity** pressure is about 48 PSI at that point. I then measured with 5 gallon buckets the flow rate at 16 GPM.. Its been installed for 40 years and pipes all are in great shape- (I have since upgraded piping to PROPEX with a home run to each appliance and so cut up the pipe to have a look). I bought a new tub filler, one with those stupid braided hoses. IT WAS VERY DISSAPOINTING. Most tub fillers- especially the free standing are at only 1.8 GPM and 3.8 GPM unless you pay like $3K sand even then you might get 4 or 5. If it has hoses inside..its VERY LIKELY NOT THE ONE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. those hose can be 3/8" only and have even tighter restrictions at the connections. It it says its 8 GPM you did well not bad but still less than 1/2 of what your old tub did. Most of todays TUB FILLERS.... are built to look great but do not even come close to meeting the task at hand. UNLESS you have a very small tub. 8 GPM would be OK in comparison but anything less is a JOKE. SO ... LOOK FOR units with OLD SCHOOL COPPER SWEAT MANIFOLD design. CHECK SPECIFIED FLOW RATE. Here is the one that fills like I expect it to its specified for 18 GPM --- add it is COMPLETE with the VALVE SET.. ********************* MOEN Adler Chrome 2-Handle Deck Mount Roman Bathtub Faucet (Valve Included) MFR#: 86998 They stopped making these I suspect because its so much CHEAPER to GO WITH THE FLOW and standardize on the easy to manuf.. braided contraptions. LOOK FOR HARD COPPER MANIFOLD/VALVE SET ** VELOCITY PRESSURE vs STATIC PRESSURE. The former is pressure measured in the flowing water. Static is what most ppl would think of as pressure. Static pressure will always be the same everywhere in your piping system. However, when the water is flowing, everything will take away pressure including restrictions, length of pipe and even roughness inside the pipes....See MoreNeed some feedback

Comments (34)Of course, alisande, we all make choices and I'm glad you're happy with yours. For many, the diversity and availability of employment opportunities is a major (but not the only) factor that influences where people choose to live. I could not have had the career I had away from an urban or major business center and would not have been happy with a lifetime of unchallenging work and inadequate income. Before the work at home practice started just recently, this was true for most people with professional or white collar jobs who can now partially or entirely work at home and is still true for people in trades who want to have a robust customer population to draw from. Small town and rural locations offer limited choices, often limited employment opportunities and limited resources of all kinds. Supply and demand controls. Choices are limited where demand is limited and choices are much greater and more numerous where demand is higher. Also a factor is the life one chooses to pursue, of course. For me, it was an easy choice to pursue a course with greater personal financial security and rewards and proximity to cultural opportunities. Others make different choices. No wrong or right answers, all personal preferences....See MoreRose Pekelnicky
