- Tubz.com indicates that deck mounted faucets can be installed directly through a hole in the tub itself or through the decking surrounding a bathtub.
- Single hole faucets combine the spout, one lever for controlling water temperature and flow, and a lever for pulling the bath's plug. Two-piece faucets add a hand shower through another hole.
Three-piece faucets separate the taps from the spout, or separate the taps onto a single lever and add a hand shower. Four-piece faucets have separate holes for the spout, each tap and hand shower. Five-piece sets add the hand shower diverter through another hole. - Purchase deck mount faucets constructed from brass to ensure long life.
- Faucets can be overlaid with decorative materials, including polished or brushed chrome or nickel, shiny or antiqued brass, copper and oil rubbed bronze.
- Many vintage tubs are pre-drilled for faucets. Measure handle holes before ordering to ensure your faucet will fit correctly.
