Hi All,
I have been reading your forum but first time posting.
Just had our bathroom gut renovated with new plumbing by a contractor. New sink and faucets (8" widespread) were installed. But the plumber installed the hot water faucet handle on the right hand side and cold on the left hand side. Though hot water comes out when hot is turned on and cold when cold faucet in turned on, I would still like to switch the sides because that is just the standard, right? I have been chasing the plumber to fix it but no luck with it. So we are wondering if we could do it ourselves. However, with no experience in doing so, I want to make sure if its even possible.
I have attached a couple of pictures. One is of the faucets (Lefroy Brooks, LB 1216, 8 " widespread) and you see that they are reversed. The other one is from under the sink. The cold is on the left supply line is and the right supply line is hot. (May be the plumber wanted to keep it easy on him and that's why installed the faucets too on the same sides as the supply lines?) We are using Lefroy Brooks 8" widespread faucet. Attached are the pictures. What do I need to do to switch the sides of the hot and cold faucets?
Please advise.
Thank you so much in advance.
