chrome brass bathroom

Most chrome bathroom fixtures are built from brass (often chrome-plated). Some shower heads or trims are stainless steel, and a few shower components use ABS plastic.

Flow rates vary by product: many lavatory faucets are around 1.2 GPM, common showerheads list about 1.8 GPM, and high‑flow tub fillers can reach roughly 11.1 GPM.

Listings commonly cite EPA WaterSense, ICC‑ES PMG (cUPC), ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 and 61, California CEC, DOE/ECPA listings, and in some cases Massachusetts certification.

Most fixtures use solid brass rough‑in valves and drip‑free ceramic disc cartridges. Cartridge sizes mentioned include 35 mm and 40 mm, and some products use 1/4‑turn ceramic cartridges.

Most specify standard 1/2" NPT threads or 1/2" NPT female inlets, matching common U.S. plumbing connections.

Many listings state a 1‑year limited warranty; certain products specify a 5‑year warranty for the manufacturer or for specific components such as cartridges.
