When you go to the market you will notice that the apples are always cheaper in the bag than if you purchase them one by one. The same is applicable when you purchase a Clawfoot Tub and Faucet Package.
We have paired our amazing Vintage style tubs with our high quality brass plumbing fixtures and given you a substantial discount.
Cast Iron Tub
The first thing you need to know is that this particular tub is called, Carroll. Carroll is a cast iron tub that is available with or without faucet holes. The clawfoot tub in my featured photo includes a deck mount faucet package. That means there are faucet holes on the rim or deck of the tub. Our Carroll tub is also available with bathtub wall faucet holes.
This particular tub is made of cast iron, but we do have clawfoot tub and faucet packages that are acrylic as well.
This tub has some unique features, it has a continuous rolled rim all around the tub, except when there are holes for the deck mount style faucet. The rolled rim is about 3 1/2 inches wide. It has a very graceful appearance. This clawfoot tub is 55 inches long and 30 inches wide. The water depth is 13 inches up to the overflow. It isn’t big enough for two people but the person bathing will enjoy a 35 1/2″ interior floor and deep soaking water. It will be a breeze to step into the tub. Even though the clawfeet make the tub look higher off the floor that other tubs, it is really only 23 1/4″ tall.
English Telephone Faucet
All of our plumbing is very high quality. Each piece is made of brass and has a fine polished chrome, brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze finish on it.
The fixtures included in this clawfoot tub and faucet package are highly polished chrome but again, they are available in other finishes as well.
The faucet in the featured photo is an English Telephone or gooseneck style faucet. Our faucet is made of Solid Brass Construction and comes with your choice of Porcelain or Metal Lever Handles. The deckmount style faucet like this one also has 2 inch deckmounts that lifts the faucet up off of the rim of the tub. There are a few things that really set this quality plumbing apart from cheaper stuff you get a hardware stores, such as Ceramic Cartridges, Swing Arms with Adjustable Centers from 3 3/8″ to 9 3/8″ and 1/4 Turn Valves. As if all of this isn’t enough, the faucet has a hand held shower, too. You also get a 5 Year Warranty.
Plumbing Fixtures
Additionally, you get the deckmount water supply lines that connect to the home water lines. Each has decorative floor escutcheons and shut off valves. We have also included the Drain and Overflow assembly. This pipe catches the water that splashes up to the decorative overflow cover and moves it down the pipe and it all flows out with the waste water down the drain.
When you place an order for a clawfoot tub and faucet package, the tub and plumbing will typically ship together. The boxes containing the plumbing fixtures are usually placed inside the tub, with the boxed clawfeet for safe delivery.
Make some comments about the tub or the plumbing and let’s keep our love of vintage tubs going!
