Okay, I just saw my first Pegasus tub and shower faucet on a job.
I'm following up behind some handyman plumbing, and trying to get the home ready to use.
My first thought, looking at the plastic remodel plate tile guide, is that it's going to go rather normally. The plate sticks out from the wall about 1/4" in the tub, and in the other bathroom, 3/8" in the shower.
Being used to Delta and Moen, I'm thinking things will be fine. There is always some plus or minus for the trims.
Not with Pegasus though. the tile guide is where the tile "must" be.
No ifs, ands, or buts
We're looking at a plate that sticks out from the wall.
What in the world were they thinking when they designed this faucet?
If I ever come on a job that has Pegasus, I'm just going to pass it right on by. There's not enough time in the day to fix what shouldn't have to be fixed.
Here is a picture from a homeowner of a Pegasus faucet
Saw a Pegasus brand faucet at Home Depot. It was about \$70 more than the better Moen faucets and weighted a ton. The faucet is made in China, but is solid brass and has a ceramic valve and brushed nickel finish. The problem is that I don\'t know anything about this brand. Does anyone out there have any experience with Pegasus? It was much better looking than any of the others and I\'d really love to get them to outfit three sinks, a tub, and shower stall. I also thought I\'d go back to Home Depot and see if replacement parts are readily available. Need your advice.
Thanks much!
Pegasus Faucets is made by International Faucets. The same company that makes Glacier Bay for the Home Depot. Pegasus was mainly a high end version for the Expo Design Centers. However, after a little argument with Price Pfister, who refused to make exclusive Home Depot models, their account was dropped and Pegasus began manufacturing similar models. They are first in quality and I would recommend them to anyone along with the Delta faucets Home Depot sells. I personally own several of the Pegasus faucets and am impressed with the finish and the craftsmanship of the product. Best of all, it has a lifetime warranty! I chose the brushed nickel finish & the tub filler weighs a ton. Built solid.

I had Pegasus faucets installed in my master bath and my bath on the main level, it's a beautiful faucet but the sink and garden tub handle at least one of the handles on each set is stripped, now i\'m trying to get the phone number to the company so i change them out or may they can tell me how to correct the problem. Do anyone know the telephone number to Pegasus faucet.

Last week I purchased the kitchen Faucet which is really really nice, I stands very high and has a soap dispenser with the bottle mounts under the counter. I have not had any problems with them.
My wife loves that brushed nickel look.

My guess is Home Depot decided to import some of Pegasus\' higher end faucets and that\'s what we\'re all suddenly seeing with the Pegasus name.
I\'m willing to give it a shot. Mine was under \$150 and looks just like a Grohe my brother recently paid over \$400 for. By summer I should have a good idea of exactly how the two stack up.

I have one of these and like the heavy construction all the parts are made of heavy stuff the other name brands do not even come close the valves are heavy duty too BUT if you have a shower system save yourself the trouble and take out the mixer and oil it with cooking oil before installing it( it is the brass nut that is between the handle and cold water adjuster)looks like a great product at a great price i have had Price Pfister American and and Kohler and I am much happier with this one

I came across this board while looking for more product information on Pegasus, and thought I\'d share our experiences so far. We installed a Pegasus faucet for our bathroom sink about 3 months ago, and it\'s working perfectly. No problems at all with installation - we made sure to read the instructions thoroughly to avoid problems later. We are very happy with both how the faucet looks and how it\'s working. It\'s by far the nicest faucet we\'ve ever had, and we\'re planning to replace all our faucets and shower/bath controls with Pegasus products. I\'m currently looking for information on the full line. So far this is my only gripe -- they should have a website!
Pegasus provides a troubleshooting problem/cause list in their installation instructions, which seems to cover most common problems both immediately and in the future. They also supply a parts list and diagram in their instructions, along with a toll-free number to call if you have any problems (888-328-2383 US, 888-665-3589 CAN). Their lifetime warranty states clearly that, if the faucet should ever develop a drip or leak, they will supply the parts free of charge to fix the problem. Using non-Pegasus parts is not covered, but if they\'re willing to supply the parts free, who wouldn't try their stuff first?
Our Home Depot has been very forthright about the brand - they\'ve told me it\'s their exclusive brand, and that they\'re expanding the product line due to high interest. Worst case scenario, if someone has problems with the faucet that they\'re unable or unwilling to fix, Home Depot will take it back since it\'s their product.
I hope this helps anyone who has been searching for a good experience with the brand. After bad experiences with Moen, American Standard, and numerous other brands, this faucet has been great so far.

From reading the comments I am not going to buy them. It sounds like too many people are experiencing leaks. I could find no other info on them on the internet. Without knowing who manufactures them for Home Depot & Expo, the lifetime warranty is worthless as I have no way of judging if the company will be around next year.
