Pegasus Faucet
We installed a $300 Pegasus Faucet in 2005. Last week (while on
vacation) the connector for the cold water apparently failed and caused $60,000 damage to the house. 1. The plumber indicates that the wire-weave risers are both not typical of quality faucets, and not as reliable as typical copper risers. 2. While Home Depot said that Pegasus is built by American Standard, AS doesn't seem to agree. 3. Has anyone else had problems with a Pegasus faucet failing? |

I haven't opened the package for every faucet ever made, but I've installed a few faucets, and none of them came with risers. I had to provide them. If they failed, I wouldn't have blamed the faucet manufacturer. The connector you mentioned - is it part of the riser, or part of the faucet itself? |

Now that I think about it, I recall one faucet that did include some flex lines from the manufacturer. It was a faucet that accommodated variable hole spacing and had two separate valve units (hot and cold) and a spout unit, and flexible lines were provided to connect them. The supply lines were not provided however, and the lines that were provided could not cause flooding while away since they were located after the faucet valves where they would not be pressurized.
