I really like the looks of the faucets in my bathroom. However, the installation instructions are flawed. They instruct the user to face the side "stems" on the hot/cold valve body towards the faucet. However, when you attach the hose assembly to the bottom of the spout shank, the pivot rod does clear the hose assembly - it is directly beneath it. We had to point the side "stems" to the outside for it to work.
