I'm sure most people will say there's no right answer but what is considered correct?
I'm referring to the angle of the lever handles used for widespread bathroom levorotary faucets. Should they be 180 degrees apart, parallel to the back wall or slightly angled-in.
The widespread faucets that came with my house were all angled-in a bit while the standard 4" spread faucets are all at 180 degrees because they're no other option (because the valve and spout assembly are pre assembled in that orientation).
Is there one way that's considered correct? One that would be typical of a spec job? I noticed manufacturers instructions and website photos show them at 180 but what to the pros do when installing a widespread faucet with lever handles.
Photos: 180 and something less than 180.
