Installation Guide

This page covers general installation notes for Brassluxe fixtures. Because plumbing configurations vary by home, always confirm compatibility with your existing rough-in and thread sizes before installing.

What's included

Each product page notes exactly what's included in the box — for example, whether a shower system includes the rough-in valve or trim only, or whether a faucet includes the supply lines and pop-up drain. Please read the included components list before you order, especially for shower systems and tub fillers, where valve compatibility matters most.

Faucets (bathroom & kitchen)

Most of our faucets use standard 3/8" or 1/2" NPT/compression connections compatible with common US supply lines. Single-hole, widespread (typically 8" spread), and bridge-style faucets each require different sink/counter hole configurations — check your existing sink cutout or counter drilling before ordering. Installation generally requires: adjustable wrench, basin wrench, plumber's tape, and a bucket for shut-off. This is a moderate DIY project for most homeowners comfortable with basic plumbing.

Shower systems & tub fillers

These typically involve connecting to an existing shower valve or, for new installs, setting a rough-in valve inside the wall before tile/finish work. We strongly recommend professional installation by a licensed plumber for any shower system or tub filler that requires new rough-in plumbing or wall penetration — this protects your warranty and your walls.

Pendant lighting

Our brass and copper pendant lights are sold as light fixtures only (unless noted) and require standard electrical installation to a ceiling junction box. We recommend installation by a licensed electrician, particularly for hardwired (non-plug-in) fixtures, to ensure safe wiring and code compliance in your area.

Sinks

Vessel sinks, undermount sinks, and farmhouse sinks each have different mounting requirements (counter cutout, apron support, drain alignment). We recommend installation by a professional installer or plumber, especially for undermount and farmhouse-style sinks that require structural counter support.

Hardware & accessories

Cabinet pulls, knobs, towel bars, hooks, and toilet paper holders typically mount with standard screws into pre-drilled holes or wall anchors. These are straightforward DIY installs with a screwdriver or drill.

General recommendation

When in doubt, hire a licensed professional — especially for anything involving water supply lines, new rough-in plumbing, or electrical wiring. Improper installation can void your warranty and, more importantly, cause water or electrical damage to your home.
