sumerain 3 Hole Roman Tub Faucet Brushed Gold - High Flow

Our review of the sumerain 3 Hole Roman Tub Faucet Brushed Gold finds it best suited for homeowners who want a durable, decorative tub filler that fills quickly and holds up to daily use. The single biggest reason to buy is its high flow performance combined with a corrosion-resistant brushed gold finish, which means bathrooms get a showpiece faucet that also fills tubs fast. Installation is straightforward for standard 3-hole decks, and the included solid brass valve and drip-free ceramic cartridge deliver long-term reliability.

Key Features

• High flow rate: The 12.16 GPM@60PSI flow fills tubs in minutes, saving time when running a bath.
• Durable finish: The brushed gold resists corrosion and tarnishing, preserving the faucet appearance over years of use.
• 3-hole deck mount: Designed for 3-hole installation with 1-1/4 in hole diameter and recommended 8 in centers for full handle clearance.
• Solid construction: A brass valve body and metal handles provide a sturdy feel and long-term durability in a bathroom environment.
• Drip-free cartridge: The MS ceramic cartridge is tested to remain drip free after 600,000 uses, reducing maintenance and waste.
• Standards compliant: Certified to ICC-ES PMG and compliant with ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 plumbing fitting standards for safety and reliability.

Who It's For

This faucet is ideal for homeowners remodeling a freestanding or deck-mounted roman tub who want a bold brushed gold look and fast fill performance. It fits typical 3-hole installs and suits bathrooms where a solid metal valve and long-lasting cartridge are priorities.

It is less appropriate for very tight deck layouts that cannot accommodate the recommended 8 in centers or for users who require a lower flow restrictor for water conservation in low-pressure systems.
