A Basin Faucet, also commonly known as a basin tap or sink faucet, is a plumbing fixture specifically designed to supply water to basins, sinks, or vanities primarily found in bathrooms. This type of faucet is engineered to fit over or near a basin's rim, enabling users to control water flow and temperature efficiently.

Ball Faucet
As the first type of washerless faucet, the ball faucet most commonly resides in older homes. Ball faucets have a single handle that uses a slotted metal ball inside them to operate. The slots in the ball align with the cold and hot water inlets to control the flow and temperature of the water exiting the faucet. As you move the handle, the ball controls the flow of water. With many different components working together, ball faucets are more likely to leak than disc or cartridge faucets.
Disc Faucet
Serving as a more modern type of faucet, disc faucets have a single lever with a wide cylindrical body. This faucet contains a pressure balance cartridge that blends hot and cold water and two ceramic discs at the bottom for operating.
Compression Faucet
Compression faucets date back to the first demand for indoor plumbing. You’ll typically notice them in older homes. But recently, these faucets are making a major comeback in newer homes with modern, rustic updates. Like cartridge faucets, compression faucets have separate hot and cold water handles. Compression faucets operate with the help of a compression stem, a large diameter screw, with a washer at the end of it pressing against a valve seat. When the compression is tightened, a rubber seal presses against a valve seat to restrict water flow. In other words, you must completely tighten the handle of a compression faucet to turn off the water flow.
Double-Handle Cartridge Faucet
Double-handle cartridge faucets work in the same way as compression faucets. They both contain separate handles for hot and cold water. However, cartridge faucets are far smoother and more consistent. You simply turn these faucets halfway to turn the water on and off.
Parts of Basin Faucet
Handle(s)
Taps can have one or two handles. Single-handle taps allow for easier control of both water temperature and flow with one lever. Dual-handle taps feature separate handles for hot and cold water, offering precise temperature adjustment.
Spout
The spout is the part of the tap where water flows out. Its design can vary widely, from traditional curved shapes to modern, straight lines, affecting both the tap's look and the water's flow pattern.
Valve
The valve controls water flow through the tap. Types of valves include ball, disc, cartridge, and compression valves, each with its own mechanism for regulating water flow and temperature.
Aerator
Located at the tip of the spout, the aerator mixes air with water to produce a smoother flow, reduce splashing, and increase efficiency by limiting water use.
O-Rings
O-rings are small rubber rings that seal the joint between different parts of the tap to prevent leaks. They are found in various locations, including around the valve and under the handle.
Cartridge
In single-handle taps, the cartridge is a cylindrical part that moves within the valve body to control the mix of hot and cold water and regulate flow.
Escutcheon Plate
This is a decorative plate that covers the hole in the sink or wall through which the tap is installed. It also helps to prevent water from leaking into the hole.
Supply Lines
These are the hoses or pipes that connect the tap to the home's water supply, delivering hot and cold water to the faucet.
Washers
Washers are used in compression valve taps to create a water-tight seal that prevents leaks. They can wear out over time and may need to be replaced.
Mounting Hardware
This includes nuts, bolts, and screws used to secure the tap in place on the sink or countertop.
How to Choose Basin Faucet
Style
Avoid a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink, and vice-versa. Also make sure that the style, such as contemporary or classic, matches that of the sink. Look for a faucet that directs water into the center of the bowl. For a large sink consider a tall gooseneck or one with a pull-out spray. If the faucet’s too short it may not reach far enough. Make sure your new faucet matches the correct hole drillings in your sink, 4″ centers, 8″ centers, or single hole.
Handles
How many and what type of handles do you desire? Our designs range from traditional cross handles to contemporary single-lever and two handle models. Lever handles in both single and dual control designs are not only stylish, they’re also the easiest to use for people with smaller or less flexible fingers.
Mounting
To keep things interesting, we offer a variety of faucets that mount directly to the sink, a faucet deck, countertop, or wall. As with hole patterns, make sure that your faucet is compatible with your sink especially when it comes to vessel sinks which require tall countertop mounted vessel faucets or wall-mounted faucets.
Dripless Faucets
Consider how a new faucet will last. Or, more importantly, how long it will last without dripping. Faucets should offer long-term performance and be drip-free for life. Ceramic Disc Valving utilizes discs made of hardened ceramic, a durable material that won’t wear out and won’t leak even under the toughest water conditions.
Pull Out
Select bathroom and kitchen faucets feature a pull out or pull down spout in which the end of the spout of the faucet can be ‘pulled out’ from the rest of the spout similar to a side spray. These faucets allow you to bring the water flow to where you need it in the sink.
How to Install Basin Faucet
Turn Off Water
First, shut off either the hot- and cold-water supply valves at the sink or the main water valve for the whole house.
Remove Supply Lines
Open the faucet and let any water drain out.
Remove both hot- and cold-supply lines at the shut-off valves or the faucet using an adjustable wrench. Have a bucket or container nearby to catch any water from the lines. Keep a towel on hand for this as well.
Remove the Old Faucet
Not all faucets are secured to the sink the same way. Some have a large locknut from the underside of the sink, while others have a threaded rod with a nut securing it to a mounting plate on the underside of the sink.
From the underside of the sink, loosen the nut or nuts holding the faucet in place. Now remove the old faucet by pulling it up and away from the sink.
Prep Before Installation
Before installing the new faucet, scrub away any dirt and mineral deposits on the sink surface that may have accumulated throughout the years.
At this point, attach the water supply lines to the faucet. Some faucets come with supply lines already attached.
Install Deck Plate
Convert a three-hole sink to a one-hole sink with a deck plate. (Not all faucets include a deck plate — you may have to purchase one separately.)
Before installing the deck plate, apply a thin bead of plumber’s putty to the bottom of the plate.
Install the Faucet
Insert the supply lines and the shank of the faucet through the hole in the deck plate or sink.
From the underside of the sink assemble in order: 1. Rubber washer, 2. Brass washer, 3. Threaded locknut w/set screws. Hand tighten the threaded locknut.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the set screws on the locknut. Work your way around the locknut tightening the screws slightly each time until they are snug.
Connect Water Supply
Install the hot- and cold-water supply lines to the corresponding shut-off valve. Tighten with an adjustable wrench, but only until snug. Do not overtighten.
Turn On the Water
Turn on hot and cold shut-off valves. Check for leaks near the valves.
