Nothing complicated in that! And metal outlasts plastic.

And washers are cheap.

Then again, kitchens and bathroom are what sell houses, and women are
the tail that wags that dog.

Couldn't tell by me, but some kitchen and bath faucets/fixtures are

How many kitchens and baths last 85 years, anymore? *LONG* before
that, they're gutted and replaced with the new toys.
