Matte Black Roman Tub Faucet 3-Hole Deck Mount - High Flow

In this review of the Matte Black Roman Tub Faucet with Valve, the bottom line is straightforward: this deck mount tub filler is for homeowners who want a fast-filling, durable tub faucet without a premium price. The single biggest reason to buy is the high flow performance, which delivers 12.16 GPM@60PSI so a soaking tub fills much faster than with standard fixtures. The reviewer found the finish and build quality held up under normal use and the included valve and metal handles give a reassuringly solid feel.

Key Features

• High flow rate: 12.16 GPM@60PSI fills tubs in minutes, cutting wait time for long soaks.
• Matte black finish: Resists corrosion and tarnishing so the faucet keeps a consistent appearance over time.
• 3-hole deck mount: Designed for standard 3-hole installation with 1-1/4 in hole diameter and recommended 8 in centers for handle clearance.
• Solid brass valve body: Durable metal construction and metal handles reduce flex and feel more substantial than plastic alternatives.
• Drip-free cartridge: MS ceramic cartridge tested for 600,000 uses to minimize leaks and maintenance.
• Certifications: ICC-ES PMG certified and compliant with relevant ASME/CSA plumbing standards for safety and performance.

Who It's For

This faucet suits DIY-minded homeowners, remodelers, and installers fitting a new or existing roman tub who want a high-flow deck mount solution in a contemporary matte black finish. It is especially useful where filling speed is important, such as larger soaker or corner tubs that otherwise take a long time to reach depth.

Those who need a single-hole filler, integrated hand shower, or specialized trim should look elsewhere, since this product is explicitly a 3-hole deck mount roman tub faucet with valve and does not include hand shower accessories.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High flow fills tubs quickly, saving time and improving usability.
• Matte black finish resists corrosion and keeps a consistent look.
• Solid brass valve body and metal handles provide durable build quality.

• Does not include a hand shower or single-hole adaptor, limiting configurations.
