This faucet includes the control for the drain valve, and from a functional point of view, it’s incredibly convenient to be able to open and shut the drain from above. If the faucet ignores that feature, you’re either going to have a drain you can’t operate, or it’s going to be one of those ugly manual ones. I think the lack of back plate is quite neat here.
This faucet would look particularly nice on a granite countertop. Far from fickle, faucets function best when they’re running hot and cold. These modern fixtures prove their mettle by making it oh-so-easy to go with the flow.
Next, attach the new tail pipe to the sink drain. Then install the new drain/Stopper assembly that came with the new faucet into the sink basin. Part of the drain/Stopper assembly will include connecting a mechanical linkage system to the back of the drain tail pipe. This linkage system will connect the drain pull rod to the Stopper assembly in the sink drain. Reconnect the J-Trap drain assembly to the drain tail pipe. Turn the supply line valves back to the ON position.
