Hello folks, I searched and couldn't find anything on this.

I'm in the process of installing a 75 gal Kohler whirlpool tub. I been looking everywhere and I can't find any 3/4 inlet wall mount or tub mount (not deck mount) faucets under 600.00. (out of my range)

If I'm right a 1/2 inch would take around 20 minutes to fill the tub. Is this correct??? Does anyone know of a 300.00 3/4 tub filler?

Are companies making faucet without the mixing valve that I can just run my supply lines to. Like the old school stuff where the hot and cold come out seperate for 3/4 supply.


Thanks for your help!!!! Eric

If you have full trunk line (3/4 inch) capability up to the faucet, then the reduction down to 1/2 inch I think would still allow plenty of GPM.

Regarding you last few lines: Ever see those old fashion single handle faucets that are on old fashion wall hung sinks that may even have the porcelain criss-cross handles? You could use a faucet like that; one for the hot and one for the cold. But you would have to cut off the turn down on the faucet spout. But you'd think they could very well make single faucets for such an application, also. Have you gone to a plumbing supply house and looked thru their catalogs?

Oh. And fill time would also be relative to your water PRESSURE in PSI.
