Returning it, and will be looking for better quality.
Open to suggestions on a quality high arc pull down, guess we need to spend more, let's set the limit at $350.
'I would install and use it - you may like it.
You may be overthinking or obsessing. I'm sure they tested the gremlins out of it.
You may buy something that looks good to your criterion and it will fail somewhere unexpected anyhow.
How hard is it to replace the valve or cartridge when it starts dripping?
Funny I still have a 20 yo old new old stock Delta with the ergonomic shift handle.
I just did a washer and spring kit on it after 18 years in service.
I do like the gooseneck on the new faucets. Moving Back to 100 year old tech that is new again !
