: Does anyone have any experience with the relative quality of Danze kitchen faucets, as compared to the more well-kown brands such as Moen & Delta? : Thanks very much, : Brad : Vancouver, B.C. I only have experience with the Plymouth line of Danze faucets. Installed (14) 2-handle faucets, (3) single handle tub/shower valves about 10 months ago. The t&s valves are still working great, but every 2-handle faucet (lavs, kit.sink, roman tub) had the ceramic disc cartridges freeze up. One at a time They started getting hard to turn on/off about 2 months after the home owner moved into the house. Tried to lubricate The original plastic cartridges with silicone faucet lube, but that only lasted about a week. My supplier sent Brass ceramic disc cartridges for replacement and they have been working fine ever since. I was very impressed with the finish and heavy brass construction of the faucets. hope they have addressed this problem with their faucets by now as i would like to give them another try.
