[PLUG-TALK] Way off topic - quarter turn faucets

[Russell Johnson]

    	The local Ace Hardware, or if you prefer big box, Home Depot or Lowes will have whatever style of most plumbing parts. 
I'm in the dual lever, single spout camp.

Tomas, I have to say I disagree on two of your points.  One is that I have never had a blocked toilet.  I have had a blocked sewer line, and a blocked drain pipe (once since 1981).  Two, I prefer the two valve sink.  So we disagree.

As you might know, I am not from around here. So, I am not familiar

with plumbing brands around; beyond toilets seemingly designed to block

and other high maintenance and unreliable unreliable plumbing items.

That is, however, not the point here.



What I mean to say is that I have not seen and used anything but

ceramic lever type washbasin, bath or shower (including the ball

service valves mentioned) for as far as I remember in my adult life.

That would be, give or take 3-ish decades. I do not know the brands in

my old land either - simply because all I have ever liked visually was

ceramic and have never needed any service or replacement.



Given my past experience, or the lack of experience with anything else,

I would bet that the old Ikea store will most likely sell nothing else,

than what you need, and for reasonable $$$ too. I would give them a

visit and see if they have what you like and need.



To be completely fair - I personally never got the point of

British/Irish two tap system either. That is an engineering/sanitary

"marvel" - where you need both hands and are never able to achieve the

desired temperature. Those are probably the worst plumbing

bathroom/kitchen invention right at the level of regularly blocking

toilets and plungers.



Good luck,

Tomas
