My wife and I bought a model 1410-CWH Decolav vessel sink and a push button pop-up drain model 9297 for it. We also purchased a Grohe Tenso line model 32425 faucet to go with this sink. In attempting to install these I ran into a few problems.
First the faucet supply lines that are pre-installed on this faucet are not long enough to reach our on/off valves. I went to Lowe's and Home Depot (both of which suck for any kind of customer service or trained personnel who actually have any clue whatsoever in home improvement) and they told me to just put longer lines on. Not so easy. These lines are special and are inside of the faucet neck. They are not standard supply lines. I could not find any extension hoses and don't really want to make some kind of funky extensions on the copper lines to make it get closer either. What are my options? Does Grohe sell longer lines that can be installed?
Second problem is that the Decolav drain that we got was the one recommended for that sink. Only problem is that the hole on the bottom of the sink is 2" diameter i.d. and the drain is 1.5" o.d.. The only hardware supplied with this drain was a fiber washer and a nut. The washer barely covers the hole and since this is an overflow type sink I know it will leak when water is applied. Also what is to stop water from running down the threads? Clearly there is some kind of rubber washer missing. Decolav's and Grohe's websites offer absolutely no help in installation directions. Please someone help us!
I am attaching links to webpages for these so you can see what they are. Thanks.
